Aitutaki, Cook Islands

It's only 220 km or a 50-minute flight from Rarotonga. Secluded and romantic, 15 motus (islets) are sprinkled across this huge turquoise, sunkissed lagoon.

After Rarotonga, Aitutaki is the second most visited island in the Cook Islands. Secluded and romantic, it holds a compelling allure for honeymooners, many of whom choose this haven for the duration of their stay. You can look forward to languid, leisurely days simply reveling in each other’s company and the jaw-dropping surroundings. Work on your suntan lazing under a coconut palm, relax with a massage or ask for directions to the secret garden.

Sip champagne in sophisticated full service resorts or be awed by the gentle lapping of waves on the pristine white sand, drink in hand at the magic sun set hour at your beachside boutique accommodation in Aitutaki. In Aitutaki you’ll experience an array of culinary delights that will melt in the mouth of even the most discerning foodie, set in amongst one of the most spectacular vistas you’re likely to encounter.

There are countless ways to explore the crystal clear, warm turquoise waters and the uninhabited islands, called "motu", which fringe the lagoon. How about kayaking to a fine white sandy beach that you can have all to yourselves? Or hiring your own boat and setting a course for Maina, or Honeymoon Island, or One Foot Island – where visitors can get their passport stamped at the world’s smallest post office. Several tour operators cruise daily to these and other sand islets and to favourite snorkelling spots abundant with colourful fish, turtles and coral clusters.

Check out the kite boarders zooming across acres of sandy shallows on the South East trade winds then get a lesson and have a go yourself. Go fly-fishing for the mighty bonefish to create a truly unique Aitutaki memory. And just beyond the reef Aitutaki offers outstanding and readily accessible scuba diving for beginners through to experts as well as fantastic deep-sea fishing. Learn the history and culture of the warm and gentle Aitutaki people on day tours or hire a scooter or bicycles to explore at your own pace, meeting the locals at church or the market.
