Accommodation Aitutaki Cook Islands

Because Aitutaki is a small island, all accommodation on Aitutaki is near the lagoon. If you're in the centre of Aitutaki island where Des and Tutai Clarke have accommodation near Tautu then it's about 5 minutes by car and 15minutes by foot to the nearby Aitutaki Lagoon. They also have accommodation right on the lagoon beach of Akiami islet.  There is also accommodation on the lagoon at Akitua

Many accommodation resort hotels have Polynesian cultural dancing island night performances. Tourists accommodated at these resorts are invited to dance with Aitutakian dancers after their resort hotel dinner.

Camping is not permitted on Aitutaki Islets (motus) except by islet owning locals. You can use the internet to book accommodation directly with property managers on Aitutaki but if the poor telecommunications infrastructure is a problem then you'll likely be better off booking accommodation on Aitutaki via my friend Melynnda trip@oyster.net.ck a travel agent in Rarotonga.

A friend of mine, Dave Falkner has interests in the Pacific Resort accommodation on Aitutaki.

If you want accommodation near where most Aitutakians live then look for accommodation near Arutanga where most of the shops are.  If you want to disappear like a hermit then limited accommodation at the Clarke's place on Akiami is recommended.

On my next trip to Aitutaki I'll make a point of taking photos of accommodation at Aitutaki and familiarising myself with new accommodation built there since my last visit in the late 1990's.

Look for accommodation near the villages of Vaipae and Tautu if you want accommodation near more traditional way of living Polynesians. My son Tai Grummels lives in the village of Vaipae. Phone him in Aitutaki daylight time if you want up-to-date Aitutaki accommodation information.
