Aitutaki Beach Villas

From the small airstrip and airport, the Aitutaki Beach Villas is just a five-minute drive on the way to Amuri village. Set on over 4 kilometres of picture-perfect beach and facing electric-blue waters of the lagoon, the resort offers just four villas for travellers. Two of them are beachfront and are named thusly (Absolute Beachfront Villas!); the other two are set slightly back and staggered. Therefore, they’re called Lagoon View Villa and Beach View Villa respectively.

Three of the four Aitutaki Beach Villas are structured identically; offering super-kingsize beds with handcrafted quilts, spacious ensuite bathrooms, high-vaulted ceilings, wardrobes, open-plan living space with sitting furniture and a kitchen. Besides the main bed, the split-level design of the villas also offers travelling families a mezzanine with two single beds. The fourth villa exchanges the extra beds and the mezzanine setting for more living room space, but the amenities stay the same. The kitchen comes with a cooking range, a fridge, double sinks, kitchen appliances and utensils. In a nutshell, these are excellent choices for couples on a budget, pals on an adventure, small groups and so on – you get the drift.

Outside the villas, there is Aitutaki. For all the hopping that travellers must endure reach this patch of paradise, it’s worth it. There is world-class snorkelling, kayaking and swimming and scuba-diving to be soaked in every day, any day. The water transparency is like a sheet of glass and just relaxing on the beach with a book and a cold stubby is a worthwhile activity. We’d recommend taking an easy hike up to the island’s hill – the view of Aitutaki, it’s beaches, the lagoon and the distant sea beyond that is simply fabulous! Oh, and travellers can hire little scooters to putter around the island very cheap too. During your holiday, do attend an ‘island night’ at any of the resorts; it’s a blast of an evening full of music, dance, good food and drinks. It’s already a great idea, just do it.
