Because you stay on the west side, the sun sets right in front of you over the water.
Arutanga, the main village with its small harbor, lies on the same shore, and the boats to the motus leave from the lagoon.
On Aitutaki your stay begins with the flight: you reach the island via Rarotonga, and the flight times decide when you arrive and when you leave.
Why it matters: at Pacific Resort Aitutaki the suitespot benefits apply from two nights, and they include early check-in and late check-out upon availability. That turns your arrival day into a day on the lagoon.
Our advice: book at least two nights and tell us your flights from Rarotonga. Our travel advisors coordinate arrival and departure with the hotel and request early check-in and late check-out at the same time.
For travelers, Aitutaki comes down to three directions.
The lagoon is the reason for the trip: you head out by boat to the motus, snorkel over giant clams and land on One Foot Island, where the little post office stamps your passport. Our recommendation: a whole day on the lagoon, with lunch on a motu.
A road circles the main island, past villages, coral-stone churches and Maungapu, the island’s highest point. Our recommendation: climb Maungapu in the morning, and the whole lagoon lies below you.
The beach in Amuri is the place for the hours between outings, with the pool, loungers and the view over the water. Our recommendation: Pacific Resort Aitutaki for anyone who wants to stay right on the lagoon.
For orientation: you reach Aitutaki on a domestic flight from Rarotonga, the main island of the Cook Islands, where the international flights land.
Pacific Resort Aitutaki offers three categories: two bungalows and one villa, all with an ocean view and a king bed.
The Premium Bungalow measures 62 square meters and is the entry point we recommend. Above it comes the Ultimate Beachfront Bungalow at 88 square meters, in the front row on the beach.
The largest unit is the Ultimate Beachfront Villa at 125 square meters, also right on the beach.
If you need a certain size, tell us: our travel advisors confirm it with the hotel before you book.
A night at Pacific Resort Aitutaki costs from 769 €. The suitespot benefits come on top: breakfast for two, a 50 US dollar hotel credit and an upgrade on arrival, upon availability.
When it is at its best: from May to October, in the dry season: the trade wind blows, the days are sunny, and the lagoon is clear to the bottom.
From November to April Aitutaki is at its warmest: the island is green, the water is warm, and short tropical showers pass quickly. Our recommendation for everyone who wants to spend as much time in the water as possible.
And whatever the date: the suitespot benefits apply in January just as in July.
How long to stay: four to five nights, ideally combined with a few nights on Rarotonga.
At Pacific Resort Aitutaki the suitespot benefits apply from two nights.
Points and membership: the hotel sits outside the loyalty programs of the big hotel chains. In return, you receive the suitespot benefits with no membership at all.
