I had the most beautiful, peaceful stay at Aitutaki Village. The location is unbeatable, right on the stunning lagoon, and the villas are lovely, comfortable, and clean. The on site restaurant Blue Lagoon served some of the best food I've ever had - delicious, seasonal, fresh produce made with love. All while taking in the magnificent view. The best part - the incredible staff - in particular Robyn, Alone, Vai and Con who were so friendly, welcoming and made the stay so special. I can't wait to return.

We loved our stay! The accommodation had everything you needed, and the location couldn’t be beaten. The beach was a very short stroll from the bungalows, on a beautiful part of the lagoon. The staff were super friendly and helpful. And OMG! The restaurant was amazing!! Such beautiful food. We’ll be back

The resort is small and very clean. The rooms are right by the lagoon which is stunning snd the staff were all so welcoming and helpful. They helped us book dinner in a nearby restaurant and organised a driver to take us to the airport . We will be back one day, soon hopefully

We stayed here with a small party of family and friends for our daughter's wedding. The "big day" and our stay were absolutely wonderful. They went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and really looked after us all. Great people, great place, great food, great amenities. I totally recommend Aitutaki Village!

I had an amazing experience with the Bishop's at their beautiful hotel. The accommodation is outstanding, the location is heaven and the people are amazing. The meals and cocktails in the Blue Lagoon are sensational, yes there is a happy hour! and watch out for Lemon the cat, he doesn't mind a smooch. I will definitely be coming back. I have already recommended to my family and friends

Great location. Close to the nicest beach but also within walking distance to the koru Café and the Boatshed if you want to break up your eating spots. The accommodation was nice with great a/c and very comfortable bed. The only negative i have is the polished ply floors look fantastic but are VERY slippery when you have wet feet. The restaurant was very nice and food affordable and tasty.

Absolutely perfect place. Can't beat the incredible view! Staff was beyond friendly and accomodating. Comfortable beach hut with a bit of a view from the front porch. Lovely little beach and very quiet area. Can't wait to return for another couple of weeks of complete rest and relaxation on such a gorgeous island!

Only a couple of flights per day so not an issue at all. We’ve been to Aitutaki four times and never once had an issue with a flight.
Seriously, it’s paradise on earth. My wife tells me not to tell people this as she’s scared it will become overcrowded one day!
Go there - you’ll adore it!

Koru Cafe is open only for breakfast and lunch but it's much better than Boatshed. They can also make meals for you that you just need to heat up if you give them 24 hrs notice. There are no markets nearby.
They have kayaks you can use at Aitutaki village so no need to rent them. I recommend renting a scooter if you want to go to the other side of the island. Aitutaki village is located just past the airport where there are a few great restraints but if you want to go check out the island a scooter is a must and super fun :)
They can store your valuables at the reception but as prior mentioned, I wouldn't worry as it's very safe. We left all in the bungalow and didn't had any issues. Enjoy paradise and go to one foot island!!
