The Resort – Beachfront bungalows and villas on Aitutaki
Family-owned and operated, Tamanu Beach offers warm hospitality and boutique accommodation in an unbeatable location. Located on Aitutaki – one of fifteen droplets of land amid Pacific waters – this resort is on the doorstep of one of the bluest lagoons in the South Pacific. From uncovering underwater wonderlands in the deep to hiking through lush forests, this is true island living.
The Purotu Wing of the resort is a secluded, adults-only sanctuary, while the Manea Wing provides family-friendly opulence. Here, each thatched-roofed bungalow combines traditional Polynesian architecture with modern amenities, creating a haven of laid-back luxury.
Dining at Tamanu Restaurant & Bar caters to every craving, offering a la carte menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring a delightful selection of fresh seafood and island-inspired dishes. Every Sunday, Tamanu Beach watches the sun go down while savouring a bountiful BBQ buffet with seasonal vegetables and salads, prime-cut meats and catches of the day. Every Wednesday and Saturday, a tropical feast is accompanied by a performance of traditional song and fire dancing.
