Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, Abera's Aitutaki Villas is situated in Arutanga. Located on the beachfront, this property has a private beach area, water sports facilities and a garden. Free private parking is available and the villa also provides car hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area.

We loved that their were only two units that shared a pool. The Beach access was amazing, as was the snorkeling right off the beach. An expanded continental breakfast was hand-delivered, and the cereals, bread, pastries, fruit, meat, and cheese were perfect for snacks, too. The owners lend guests a scooter, which helps for quick trips to town. They also provide airport transportation and can set up excursions. It really is a seamless one-stop shop!

Located in the Ureia Village, Paparei Beachfront Bungalows, Aitutaki offers beach-side accommodation with free airport transfers. Each bungalow offers a kitchenette and a private bathroom.n

Paparei Beachfront Bungalows is 5 minutes' walk from dining options. It is 10 minutes' drive from Aitutaki Airport. Bike hire is available at the property and the area is popular for snorkeling.

The serenity that this property offered was surreal. The bungalow was well-equipped with ample amount of kitchen cutleries, china, and bathroom towels. Every detail for this stay to be exceptionally wonderful was thought of- from having a bin in the toilet to having a dining table inside and outside to loungers in the balcony to my favourite spot where hammocks are installed and many more that you least anticipate of. We could only wish to have the same property and facilities when we moved to Rarotonga. We missed our Aitutaki bungalow so much. Vicky was a wonderful host, making our stay so homey. Trina was excellently responsive during our pre-arrival stage. All in all, this place makes us want to go back to Aitutaki despite its wild west vibe. This is so highly recommended.

The modern Polynesian-style villas feature thatched roofs, large covered verandas and a fully equipped kitchen. Each offers local works of art, ironing facilities and a audio-visual entertainment system.

Idyllic beachfront location with only 8 large detached chalets. Well equipped. Lovely breakfast provided by the pool. Very relaxed ambiance with so few guests - we were often the only people on the beach. Lagoon is shallow but OK for swimming with plentiful fish. Provision of bicycles, e-scooters and 2 electric golf carts make it easy to get around this small island.

Situated in Arutanga in the Aitutaki region, Tavake Villa has a garden. Located 2.2 km from Aitutaki Beach, the property provides a private beach area and free private parking. The property features free shuttle service, a restaurant with an outdoor dining area.

Tavake is great. Hosts are young, energetic, and wonderfully helpful. They found us what we needed through local connections when we had no idea and forgot to book transport. Pawpaw growing at the door, beautiful sunset from the back porch, great spot close to all the facilities you need, and not far from the flash beach up the road. Their cafe next door was open 7am - 9pm and the food and drinks were great and economical, and there were always locals and visitors to meet there for a coffee and a story.

Our stay at Tai Marino was amazing, absolutely perfect. Vaea and Kii are perfect hosts, there when you needed them and not when you didn't. Vaea helped organise bookings, picked us up from the airport and Kii took us out on a relaxing and utterly enjoyable lagoon cruise. lunch provided by Vaea. Both generously shared their love and knowledge of their home and made us feel very welcome. We could not find one fault even if we tried.

    The overwater bungalows are great, as well as location and food. Ron from the reception was exceptional - a true professional and great person who makes you feel at home and well taken care of, same with service by Mere. Overall, I would have given 10 points - if it had not been for pre-arrival communication.

    The location is stunning. In my opinion, it’s the nicest part of the lagoon. The bungalows are well kept with a rustic island charme. Further, breakfast is quite simple (toast, delicious fruits and cereal) but perfectly fine for a couple days. The restaurant staff is lovely and knew my name after the first day.

    We had an amazing stay at Gina’s. We got picked up at the airport, and stopped at the store for some groceries on the way, such kind and convenient hosts. A very confortable little cabin with a beautiful balcony view of native bush. Lots of cute birds around. And the restaurant across the road was delicious!! Hosts also arranged tours for us, which was very practical.
