Accommodation
There are six places to stay on Atiu. We recommend Atiu Villas as the best place to stay, but if you are needing to save a few dollars check out the prices of Atiu's other places to stay. If you are single, the cheapest will be the homestay, Atiu B&B, but if you are travelling with a partner or friends you may find that sharing a villa at Atiu Villas is a better deal.
Atiu Villas are six well appointed villas surrounded by spacious gardens and containing everything including a mini-bar and comprehensive larder. The villas are on the edge of the central plateau overlooking a valley to the sea. They have a floodlit grass tennis court, swiming pool, an evening restaurant and free wifi. All tours begin at the villas. Check out and book online at the Atiu Villas website. Ph 33777. Normal rates from $210 per night. Early booking and late booking discounts of 15% and 40% can apply.
