Aitutaki, the palm-fringed island just an hour‘s flight from Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, is considered one of the world’s most beautiful, unspoilt places, surrounded by a crystal turquoise lagoon with endless blue skies most of the year.

Apart from the snorkelling, fishing and diving in its world-famous lagoon, Aitutaki boasts perfect white sand beaches and stunning geographic beauty, all with sophisticated infrastructure but without the usual trappings of the tourism industry.
The great local cuisine features freshly caught seafood, and the colourful culture and friendly people make this a truly relaxed environment to spend a holiday, without the superficiality of some Pacific resorts.
There is an excellent choice of accommodation, ranging from luxurious, intimate resorts to stylish self-catered villas for couples wanting their own space with the comforts of home.
Easy flight schedules from Air New Zealand and Pacific Blue mean you can fly from the eastern seaboard and land at Rarotonga in less than eight hours from Australia, with easy connections to islands like Aitutaki.
