A beautiful boutique complex of 8 villas in the best area of Aitutaki. Our villa had lovely views and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The staff were so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, giving us advice and information about local places of interest and activities. We chose Etu Moana for its focus on sustainability and personal service. Highly recommend.

Loved that it was quite and for adults only. Staff and hosts were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. So glab we picked here to stay. Would recommend for anyone wanting a fantastic experience on the island to check out staying here. Would definitely go back.

A very special place

We loved our stay at Etu Moana which is on the west, less windy side of Aitutaki. This property has eight thatched villas cleverly positioned in lush gardens which lead to a magnificent beachfront. The ocean was perfect...warm, translucent and inviting for snorkelers. .

We enjoyed the opportunity to explore the island by bike and golf buggy. Our evening walks on the beach to one of the nearby dinner venues, was another highlight.

Mostly we appreciated the warm hospitality of Jeff and Tiffany who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.

This property was amazing. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. They think of every single thing. Kayaks, fins and reef shoes available for use. Beautiful pool with bar, electric scooters to hire. We had an amazing dinner prepared for us on the beach.
It was absolute paradise.

We were welcomed like visiting royalty, treated to delicious breakfasts and small kindnesses from all the staff from the hosts to the cleaners. It was so peaceful, the villa a lovely size, with an ocean breeze and fans for cooling. Loved the golf buggy for transport, and enjoyed sampling the local restaurants. Would highly recommend for peace and a focus on guest comfort and wellbeing in a genuine way.

Hidden gem in paradise

Worth upgrading to an absolute beachfront villa - you've gone all that way afterall!

Nothing compares to the stunning white sand beaches and water in the most beautiful colours of azure and turquoise that we marvelled at daily from our spacious villa deck. The staff were friendly and helpful and we loved the free snorkeling, kayak equipment, bikes and delicious morning breakfasts and the honesty bar by the pool.

WIFI was sketchy which forced us to switch off and enjoy long walks on the beach, afternoon cocktails and snorkeling/kayaking/ bike sessions.

A beautiful place to get away from it all. No noise, no activities, very few people. This is not for your party-goers but perfect for endless relaxation. Good snorkelling right off the beach and deep enough for a swim also.

Amazing place!!!

We had a fantastic time staying on Aitutaki at Etu Moana! What a great, quiet, relaxing 4 nights. Was easy to bike over to the other side of the island to the Aitutaki Lagoon. They have kayaks and SUPs on both sides of the island to use. The breakfast was fresh and healthy. The sunsets were amazing!

Gorgeous quiet, boutique beach side bungalows

Right on the beach with ample swimming area, kayaks, paddle board and reef shoes (a must). As the agents say whisper quiet. Beautiful, low key bungalows.
Downside was the the limited free wifi, only day time reception service, no food service for lunch and dinner (particularly in wet weather, as we were).
