Highlights

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.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Daily a la carte breakfast, dining credit, nightly drinks and more

Your stay at Tamanu Beach in the Cook Islands will begin seamless and stress-free – setting the tone for the entire retreat – with return airport transfers included in your package.

Wake up each morning to the sun’s warmth, fresh ocean breeze and exquisite a la carte breakfast at Tamanu Restaurant & Bar. The menu is extensive, featuring tropical delights like eggs benedict, homemade bircher muesli bowl and stacked island pancakes – all perfectly paired with barista-made coffee. The indulgence at Tamanu Restaurant & Bar doesn’t stop there: included in your package is a NZD$250 dining credit to spend as you please across lunch, dinner and drinks.

Spend your days exploring the tropical surroundings at your own pace, whether that be gliding through the lagoon on a stand-up paddleboard or kayak, diving into the waters teeming with colourful wildlife or bike riding through the jungle. Afterwards, toast to the day’s adventures with a nightly beer, wine, or cocktail included in your stay.

When you crave a little indulgence, pamper yourself with a treatment at the onsite spa, using the two NZD$100 credits included in your package. Take your pick of a tension-melting massage, a soothing foot soak or a hydrating facial.

Longer Stay Bonus: Stay 6+ nights to choose between an immersive cultural island tour or an exquisite Sunday BBQ at Tamanu Restaurant & Bar.

Travelling with family? Upgrade to a One-Bedroom Bungalow in the Manea Wing where two children (11 and under) stay free.
