Royal Villa Atami: A Resort Condominium with 24-Hour Onsen and Panoramic Views
Royal Villa Atami is a distinctive resort condominium complex that blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings, offering an aesthetically pleasing exterior that invites appreciation. The centrally located "Shared Building" serves as the symbolic heart of the community, featuring a 24-hour accessible hot spring bath (onsen) and sauna, among other amenities. The property is situated on a hill approximately 600 meters from the famous Atami Plum Garden.
The building's facilities are comprehensive. The property is equipped with electricity from Tokyo Electric Power, gas from Atami Gas, drinking water from the municipal water supply, and drainage connected to the public sewer system. The complex is a 13-story reinforced concrete structure with one basement level, built in January 1992. It comprises 103 units and offers 32 parking spaces (28 in a two-tiered mechanical parking system and 4 outdoor spaces), with six spaces available for a monthly fee of 5,000 yen. The building features a secure auto-lock system and is managed by Angel Community Co., Ltd., with a manager on duty from 9:00 to 17:00 daily (until 19:00 on Fridays and Saturdays).
Residents enjoy access to the 24-hour onsen bath (with a jacuzzi), which uses heated and filtered spring water, and a sauna open from 17:00 to 21:00. Other shared facilities include a lounge with sports equipment and an owner-exclusive guest room available for stays. The complex is designated for permanent residence, though pets are not permitted.
The surrounding Atami area is a renowned hot spring resort on the Izu Peninsula. An interesting local fact is that Atami's name literally means "hot sea," derived from the area's abundant geothermal activity. The city is famous for its spectacular seasonal fireworks festivals over the ocean. The closest major tourist attraction is the Atami Plum Garden (Atami Baien), a beautiful seaside garden featuring over 400 plum trees of 60 varieties, which is particularly stunning during the late winter blooming season.
