If solitude and quiet is something you seek on your next vacation then the Pacific Resort Aitutaki should be at the top of your wish list. You’re on your own island, a triangular atoll in the Pacific and the resort only has 27 rooms and villas so you are guaranteed of privacy and outstanding service at all times.

Warm, shallow waters surround you  and provide the perfect setting for snorkelling, swimming and fishing. Explore the beauty of the marine world at any level and bask in the warmth of the sun to dry off afterwards.

Your accommodation is both relaxing and opulent, and impeccable service ensures your every whim is taken care of.

South Pacific cuisine is served up alongside stunning ocean views. Feast on freshly prepared seafood while enjoying the scenic wonder all around you. Seafood dishes include signature spices like garlic, chilli and ginger when ordered at Rapae Bay Restaurant. If you’re not in a social mood you can order world cuisine from the room service menu and dine in private.

Relaxing massages and thoughtful turndowns are there to help you unwind and feel special, while outdoor dining is a treat of the soul- and the inner romantic.

Aitutaki island can be accessed through flights from Rarotonga, around 45-minutes in duration.
