A beautiful boutique complex of 8 villas in the best area of Aitutaki. Our villa had lovely views and everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The staff were so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, giving us advice and information about local places of interest and activities. We chose Etu Moana for its focus on sustainability and personal service. Highly recommend.

We were welcomed like visiting royalty, treated to delicious breakfasts and small kindnesses from all the staff from the hosts to the cleaners. It was so peaceful, the villa a lovely size, with an ocean breeze and fans for cooling. Loved the golf buggy for transport, and enjoyed sampling the local restaurants. Would highly recommend for peace and a focus on guest comfort and wellbeing in a genuine way.
