Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas - Adults Only

My husband & I had a very good time at the resort. Villas are spacious & private. Resort has paved walkways for ease of walking. Beach is right there, easy access. Canoes, lifejackets & fins provided. Bring reef shoes, a must for swimming & snorkeling. Take the golf cart out for 4 hours & tour the island, lots of fun. Breakfast was one of best we have had. Amazing, helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic resort to get away from the big cities. The villa we stayed in, number 2, was perfect with beach views, while the resort had all the facilities we needed with a great beach front and the ability to relax by a pool later in the day. So many nice restaurants within walking distance or I recommend hiring a car to get around. So easy to drive you can’t get lost. The staff were exceptional and some of the nicest people you could meet which is what Aitutaki is all about. I highly recommend this place and even through it does not have its own onsite restaurants and only a pool bar that does not detract at all as it’s nice walking along the beach to a variety of places next door. And only 8 villas makes it feel like you have the whole resort to yourself somedays

We spent 7 nights in Etu Moana mid October 2025, and we loved every moment. The small boutique hotel is situated at one of the most beautiful beaches of Aitutaki, facing the sunset side. The only eight bungalows hide in a lush green garden, between palms and flowers. Don't expect the sterile perfection of so many 5-star-chains. Instead you will be surrounded by the perfect South Sea idyl, by tranquility and peace. You may catch yourself just staring at the green-blue symphony of colors just steps away from your bungalows terrace, hours after hours. Breakfast is served besides the pool, and the same perfect view of the lagoon. All members of the staff at Etu Moana offered their most beautiful smile all day long. There are some facilities around, offering lunch and dinner. We liked the Tava´e Resort´s restaurant, they have great fish dishes and the same perfect view from their terrace facing the lagoon. Etu Moana´s guest rooms offer a lot of space, plus a tasteful and high class ambience with a lot of wooden construction and furniture details. Don´t forget to book the lagoon tour by boat, and don´t forget to bring your camera. If you come between July and October, you may have the chance to swim with humpback whales - an unforgettable. Molly, Etu Moana´s friendly and helpful manager, will assist you in choosing and booking the right tour for you. And you can borrow bicycles or rent electric carts to explore the entire Island.

We had a wonderful time at Etu Moana. We are from China and Aitutaki was 3 flights away for us (16hrs in air), but Etu Moana made our trip smooth and comfortable. The villas were well designed and clean with beautiful gardens. Beth was increasingly nice and helpful! We also walked around the area (most resorts are close together), and Etu Moana was definitely one of the best

Etu Moana was amazing. The villa was outstanding, right on the water. The staff were awesome.

Fantastic accommodation which is first class. Manager and staff were great going out of their way to check we had what we needed. Booking activities through reception ensured we got the experience we were looking for. A good pool was important to us, and this did not disappoint at all. Good breakfasts provided each day with many options on how we wanted our eggs.

Loved the place. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Adjusted breakfast times for activities and transfers. Accomodation was excellent. Pool was beautiful and right on the lagoon so could snorkel straight out.

A stunning, quiet and beautiful slice of paradise. The chalets are lovely - recently rennovated, spacious and superbly equipped with amazing outlooks and views onto the manicured gardens, the beach and the lagoon. The staff are simply superb - friendly, happy, hardworking and will do anything to ensure that your stay with them on the island is memorable. I am definitely going back!

We enjoyed our stay so much! All the staff were warm and accommodating from pick up to check out. Molly and Beth made us feel like family! The grounds are gorgeous, and the bungalows are squeaky clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was delish! The pool, perfect. The ocean front…spectacular. Are you seeing a pattern? 10/10 recommend. We will be back!
