After soaking in the rejuvenating onsen waters, swimming in the heated infinity pool, or finishing a revitalising treatment in the spa, relaxation continues at AQUA, the bright pool-side bar overlooking the mountains, the city of Beppu, and the bay.

Between trips to the jacuzzi or while lounging in the sun — in one of eight outdoor sofa seats or one of 12 sunloungers — try one of the freshly squeezed juices on offer or choose from an extensive bar menu.

Inside, recline in one of AQUA’s sofas and flip through a book on well-being from the library, listen to music on the vintage JBL Paragon speaker, or take in the view while sipping on a healthy seasonal beverage.
