The DNA: Azumi Setoda is located on Ikuchijima, a small island of about 8,000 people in the Seto Inland Sea. With this debut property, the Azumi brand by Amanresorts founder Adrian Zecha, will take the cultural framework of the traditional ryokan and infuse it with a quality offering that appeals to the modern, global traveller. The balance between tradition and innovation is integral to all parts of Azumi; demonstrated through everything from the design, service, food and beverage, to wellness and cultural programming.
