1. Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort

Set on its own exclusive motu, the five-star Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort offers a truly luxurious adults-only experience. This strictly 16+ resort boasts the Cook Islands’ only overwater bungalows, alongside beachfront private infinity pool villas. Guests can indulge in an infinity pool dining experience with panoramic lagoon views.

The dedicated “Princess Moana” ferry service operates daily between the main island and the resort motu, running from 7 am to 10 pm, ensuring easy access while maintaining exclusivity. With its range of in-house activities and extras like the spa, you’ll find everything you need for a romantic getaway or honeymoon in paradise.

The resort also offers wedding services should you want to tie the knot here – find out more in the 10 Best Wedding Venues on Aitutaki.

2. Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas

Experience a tranquil adults-only retreat at Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas. This sustainable boutique resort features eight bungalows nestled in lush tropical fruit gardens leading to the beachfront.

Start your day with a complimentary breakfast of fresh local eggs and bread. Explore the island effortlessly with their electric buggy or passenger van transfers, or hire an e-cart or bicycle.

The resort boasts Starlink WiFi for seamless connectivity. Enjoy water activities with SUP boards and kayaks, or unwind by the beach. As night falls, immerse yourself in the incredible stargazing experience, enhanced by Etu Moana’s minimal nighttime illumination.

3. Pacific Resort Aitutaki

Impeccably presented, design-driven and service-oriented, Pacific Resort Aitutaki is an easy option for couples seeking five-star luxury. Stay on the absolute beachfront or down any one of the winding garden footpaths with botanical displays and a historical marae.

Either way, each of the bungalows we checked out during our last visit captured the breathtaking surroundings through endearing features, such as an outdoor shower and/or a glass-panelled garden shower, a private deck, and more. When you’re not in your stylish island-inspired bungalow or villa, relax at the resort’s infinity pool with a waterfall, make use of the complimentary watersports equipment, and dine in the elevated restaurant overlooking the beach and lagoon.

4. Tai Marino

There are just two bungalows on the beachfront of this locally-owned accommodation, so tranquillity is all part of the package for couples lucky enough to stay here.

What’s more, Tai Marino is significantly more affordable than the Aitutaki honeymoon accommodations that have appeared on this list so far. That’s not without losing a stunning beachfront location, access to kayaks and your own lounging space with hammocks under the palm trees.

We love that the bungalows are highly functional with self-catering facilities, should you want to prepare your own romantic dinners.

5. Abera’s Aitutaki Villas

Two modern poolside villas await at Abera’s Aitutaki Villas. Either cool off in the pool that you share with only one other couple or head down to the beach to make use of the complimentary SUP boards and kayaks. That’s not all that’s included to make your entire honeymoon or romantic getaway a breeze; a barbecue and cooking facilities are all included with your bungalow.

What’s more, we love the fact that you’re just moments away from the Pacific Resort and Amuri should you want to dine out.

6. Aitutaki Escape

An unforgettable experience awaits at the luxuriously design-oriented Aitutaki Escape. Your enclosed villa features a private pool, beach access, and a spacious contemporary kitchen.

A highlight experience here is indulging in a private dinner under the stars on a beachfront deck affectionately known as the “helicopter pad”.

In theme with its romantic ambience, Aitutaki Escape also offers wedding packages for either a beachfront wedding or on One Foot Island. Find out more in the 7 Best Wedding Packages on Aitutaki.

7. Tai Roto Bay Beach Villas

One of the most upscale accommodations on Ootu Beach, Tai Roto Bay Beach Villas offers a convenient location yet a world of its own, set on white sands backed by coconut palms. Your modern beachfront, beach-view, or garden bungalow features the self-catering facilities you need to enjoy a quiet night in, with breakfast included each day.

Also included are watersports equipment to make the most of the lagoon on your doorstep. See more options like this in the 10 Best Boutique Resorts on Aitutaki.

8. Resort Tava’e

Experience the comfort of the islands at Resort Tava’e, Aitutaki‘s newest gem, ideal for couples seeking a combination of enchanting beauty and exceptional hospitality. This disabled-friendly resort boasts 16 “Poolside Rooms”, five “Beachfront Rooms”, and three “Two-Bedroom Suites”, each designed to merge modern comfort with Polynesian charm.

Indulge in culinary delights at the beachfront restaurant and bar, a rarity on this side of the island. Join them for Island Night on Tuesday, featuring a delicious umu buffet!

The resort’s unique feature is its on-duty lifeguard, assisting guests who feel unconfident in the water. For the best snorkelling experience, we recommend visiting at high tide.

Whether you’re lounging by the twin pools, exploring vibrant marine life, or unwinding on your private balcony, Resort Tava’e invites you to immerse yourself in the magic of Aitutaki.

9. Aitutaki Village

In the heart of the dining and lagoon cruise hub of Ootu Beach, Aitutaki Village offers bungalows, as well as a surprisingly diverse wedding service where you can get married on one of three uninhabited lagoon motu or a sandbank (wink-wink).

Couples have a choice of a standard or premium bungalow at this three-star accommodation, with the premium set a little closer to the beach (but you still need to cross the road to get to the accommodation’s sun loungers and restaurant, as we discovered on our last visit).

A continental breakfast is included in your stay. This resort offers a relaxed setting with complimentary WiFi access in the restaurant.

10. Rino’s Bungalows

A convenient location and something a little more affordable than many other properties on this list, Rino’s Bungalows offers an alternative stay for couples on a honeymoon or a romantic escape. We recommend one of the beachfront bungalows reserved for adult guests, beautifully decorated and featuring the best arrival floral turndown we have seen across the Cook Islands.

Bungalows have a fridge, microwave and tea/coffee facilities, but at least you’re close to town and have plenty of dining options.
