"MAGICAL LOCATION IN AITUTAKI"
I wanted to go somewhere tropical in the world, I came across the Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas for Adults only. I was celebrating my birthday/ wedding anniversary with my husband. We had a Villa right on the beach, it was magical.
"Excellent and Highly recommended!"
We LOVED Etu Moana for our Honeymoon stay!! Small 8 villa location with amazing views. The grounds are really well-kept too. Easy access to the beautiful lagoon to snorkel or swim.
"Relaxing holiday needed!”
This trip was well needed for the two of us. Work is stressful so we really needed a relaxing break. Etu Moana was just the ticket we needed...
"Island paradise"
Etu Moana is a superb little island paradise. Host Tiffany and Geoff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The villa accomodation is well thought out and everything about this resort is made for a very relaxing experience.
"A Little Gem"
Etu Moana more than lives up to its claim to be a boutique resort. From the arrival greeting at the airport to the return journey to the airport all the staff could have not been more welcoming and helpful.
"Aitutaki - truly paradise"
WOW. It was just the best experience, highly recommend Aitutaki. Etu Moana Boutique Beach Villas were absolutely fantastic. Helpful, very friendly staff and nothing was a bother. Rooms were immaculate.
"A little slice of paradise!"
This place is an island on its own. It is peaceful, the weather balmy, the sea perfect and warm, the coral sands are white and endless. We loved this piece of paradise.
"Etu Moana, a true escape."
Etu Moana Beach Villas encapsulates the essence of a serene island escape, seamlessly blending luxury, comfort, and impeccable service. From the moment of arrival, the warmth and professionalism of the staff, particularly noted with Kirstin’s thorough tour, set a welcoming tone that resonates throughout the stay.
"We enjoyed it!"
We just returned from five nights at this wonderful resort. Beautiful, relaxing......good for the soul. Our accommodations were clean, modern, and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and every morning we woke up to a spectacular view of the white beach and vibrant turquoise waters of the lagoon.
