Atiu Villas started as Atiu Motel in December 1980 when the first villa was built and opened. In those days bookings where made by letter and communicated to us by a radio call from Air Rarotonga who told us who was coming. The owners Roger and Kura Malcolm created the villas using local trees and a sawmill. In early 2001 "Atiu Motel" became "Atiu Villas" in recognition of the increasing number of Americans visiting Atiu and the America's negative image of Motels.
Now in 2023 there are 6 villas, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a bar. Each of the self-contained villas is surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens and jungle. Guests can enjoy a wood BBQ by the pool, they have a tennis court and free use of snorkelling equipment.
The villas features a kitchen with a stove, oven and refrigerator and all have a fully stocked food cupboard and a refrigerator with beverages bread, eggs, cheese, canned goods and much more.
There is a complimentary bowl of fresh fruit of the season.
In 2017 Jackey Tanga became a shareholder and the general manger of the property.
Guests now enjoy 500MBytes of free Wi-Fi (for each device) each day. Our tour desk books caving, hiking and cultural tours. Bicycle, motor bike and vehicle hire is also available.
The restaurant serves dinner each night and offers a large communal dining area. The bar offers a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, spirits, beer and wine.
