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!

Loved the privacy. Best trip to the airport ever. It took two mins to get there. Despite being next to the airport and golf club, it’s not noisy. Base 1 is a 5min walk. Really loved our stay. Apologies to the hosts as we left a bit of a mess.

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.

Everything was above and beyond. The outdoor showers were awesome. Great snorkeling out front. Close to a couple places to eat . Can rent Escooters onsite which was awesome. We stayed 3 nights , then 2 nights in One Foot Island and now 2 nights elsewhere on island....I wish we had returned to Etu Moana

Set in Arutanga, Ranginui Sunset offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Aitutaki Beach and provides various facilities, such as a garden and barbecue facilities. This villa offers free private parking and free shuttle service. Outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the fresh air.

This felt like a peaceful retreat from the moment I arrived. It felt as if I had my own hut with my own beach and my own perfect dock to sit on for sunrise and sunset. The water is so clear that you can have your coffee or make yourself cocktail and just watch the fish go by. It was absolutely home for two days and I wish that it were for two weeks.

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.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Rangiriri Vacay is located in Amuri. This holiday home provides free private parking and free shuttle service. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.5 km from Aitutaki Beach.

Kura is the ultimate host! We were welcomed with a traditional flower garland and were shown the island before we were dropped off at Rangiriri Vacay. The unit is all you need for a nice stay in Aitutaki it's well centred in town and was very clean. We even had fresh coconuts waiting for us and the room had bottled water and papayas. Kura went above and beyond in also helping us rent scooters and driving us to the rental place. We're keen on coming back some day and we will 100% check availability at Rangiriri for that trip.

Comprising free bikes and a garden, Heaven to Sea Beach Villas is a recently renovated accommodation in Amuri located close to Aitutaki Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. The accommodation provides free shuttle service, luggage storage space and organising tours for guests.

This place is kept immaculately clean and manicured, from the villas, bathroom and hardwood deck floor, to the gardens and the beach (the team rake and tidy the beach for you each morning) and the villa is appointed with every little touch you could imagine - the UV after filter, air conditioning, outside shower, kayaks and bikes. The photos do not do it justice! Mere is the most spectacular host who has thought of everything and delivers the most astounding service - very responsive to every question or request. I was part of a larger group who stayed at a number of resorts, hotels and villas across the island. I got to see them all - some more expensive & some cheaper - none of them came close to Heaven to Sea. We felt very lucky to have found this wonderful place, run by wonderful people who go the extra mile to make everything perfect!

    The location right on the beach was perfect. Could walk from the bungalow straight onto the sand and into the beautiful blue water of the lagoon. We were there for seven nights for a fishing trip. The bungalows are basic but the bed was comfortable and clean. The balcony faces the sea and the sunset and were perfect to sit out on. Breakfast was delivered every morning- fruit, bread, jam and butter, juice and cereal and milk. The bungalows are perfect for their location and price. Look elsewhere if you want a more upmarket place to stay

    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.

    Really well thought out resort. We enjoyed that every bungalow had a bike we could ride around, and water sports equipment readily available. The staff were lovely, and everything was clean & tidy. Absolutely loved our stay and wish we stayed longer!

    Spacious bungalows with kitchen. Location right on the beach with kayaks. The location was really private and felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. If you don’t have a car (like us) there’s only really one restaurant within walking distance, so worth stocking up on enough food from the grocery store. A great stay!

    We enjoyed our stay here very much and would recommend Paradise Cove Lodge at any time. The location of the bungalows directly on the beach is unique and the staff is incredibly friendly and more than helpful. We were picked up at the airport and warmly welcomed. Overall, we felt very comfortable and would definitely come again.

    I loved this beautiful little bungalow right on the beach with a spectacular view. The morning breakfast was delicious and the huge bed was cozy and super comfy. It was so nice to be greeted at the airport with a flower Lei. I loved the added touch of little flowers place all around my place, you really could feel the loving touch to make it extra special. The staff were so sweet and very helpful💕
