EXPERIENCE OUR FABULOUS NEW BEACHFRONT PRIVATE INFINITY POOL VILLA

 Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort Adults Only is delighted to announce the opening of our new Beachfront Private Infinity Pool Villa.

When you stay in one of these new Villas, it feels like you’re starring in your own Aitutaki love story!

These Polynesian-inspired retreats sit on the edge of the charming Full Moon Channel and offer an enclave of seclusion, romance, relaxation and comfort.

Step onto your private deck, lay back on your lounger with a cool drink and witness breathtaking views across your infinity pool to the intense-aqua waters of the world-famous lagoon beyond. Legend has it that Aitutaki is where the colour blue was invented, and it’s easy to see why.

Enjoy both indoor and outdoor lounging and dining options, a kitchen including refrigerator and tea/coffee making facilities, Wi-Fi access and flat screen TV.

Next morning emerge from your king size bed and enjoy a refreshing Polynesian-style open-air shower experience before wrapping yourself in a fluffy bathrobe.

Each Villa comes complete with complimentary amenities to enrich your South Seas Island escape. Explore the Resort’s private island, Motu Akitua, by bicycle or embark on aquatic adventures with your personal standup paddle board, kayak, and snorkelling equipment.

By evening, soak up the majestic views of the sun setting directly across from your Villa’s pool deck, together in the moment.
