Aitutaki has often been described as one of the most surreally beautiful locations in the world. Its lagoon stretches for kilometres and shimmers with crystal-clear waters and colourful coral reefs. Snorkellers and divers rate this region one of the best for its amazing underwater flora and fauna – from nursery and black-tip sharks, manta rays, dolphins and shoals of tropical fish, every minute spent underwater is memorable.
Your resort is set on a secluded private island with the ‘bluest blue’ waters you’ve ever seen, fine white sand beach and spacious bungalows designed on traditional lines – high-vaulted roofs, plaited palm-leaf frond partitions, wooden flooring and outdoor decks, etc. By day, relax and explore the island at your own pace; as night falls, enjoy the burnished gold sunsets with evening entertainment, traditional songs, dances and performances to the pounding beat of island drums.
In short, an Aitutaki escape is nothing less than pure magic!
Day 1: Land at the picturesque airport of Aitutaki. There will be a friendly resort person waiting for you to help aboard the complimentary transfer to the resort. Check in, unwind and smile – your holiday has officially started!
The next five days and nights are up to you to make as exciting or relaxed as possible. The private island resort has a plethora of activities and experiences that you can indulge in. Swim, snorkel and kayak in Aitutaki’s electric-blue waters to your heart’s content and then relax under a palm tree on the island’s secluded white sand beach – the gear is complimentary, and you have to but ask the friendly tour desk staff. Also, Aitutaki is amongst the globe’s top ten most beautiful locations and the above activities are simply unparalleled, period.
Then, you can sign up for various activities such as learning how to play the ukulele, kayak tours of the island, lessons on playing the island’s traditional log drums, tying a sarong, coconut husking lessons and so many more activities. For a quiet moment together with a loved one, we suggest getting a picnic hamper from the kitchen and kayaking your way to the resort’s deserted isle (just a short paddle away!). Spend the day in seclusion, amongst some of the most surreal and beautiful sights on earth.
Plus, there are scores of tours and experiences that you can opt for, such as village visits, cultural experiences, golfing, spa sessions, along with water-sports like fishing charters and diving. Do remember to attend the manager’s cocktail party, it’s a great way to get to know your fellow travellers and the people making your holiday memorable.
Day 6: Check out of the resort; there will be a helpful representative to take you to the airport. Have a safe flight home and do come back again!
