An intimate resort on the shores of Muri Beach, Muri Beach Resort offers 20 self-contained villas and apartments scattered among spacious gardens. Family and couples’ villas are kept separate ensuring parties are less likely to disturb each other’s fun in the sun or time on the internet with the small but perhaps essential 500Mb of WiFi included in your stay. The central pool, barbecue area and beachfront deck, however, are always there for get-togethers. Muri Beach Resort is also an eco-resort, operating completely off the grid.

An adults-only boutique resort with a sustainable ethos, no wonder Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas is one of Aitutaki’s most-sought resorts. Another part of the appeal might also be the 500Mb of free WiFi available for guests. What we think you might be more attracted to, however, are other inclusions, such as self-catering facilities, a swimming pool, beach access and dining options on-site. You can also explore the island guilt-free on the accommodation’s e-scooters or the lagoon using the SUP boards and kayaks available.

Other inclusions are the complimentary transfers, a fruit basket on arrival, a starter pack for breakfast and a “starter voucher for the WiFi”. We can’t promise it’s much, but it’s a lot more data than most accommodations on Rarotonga are offering!
