Welcome to Motu beachfront art villas - Rarotonga’s newest boutique destination. Nestled on the shores of the lagoon in the sleepy village of Titikaveka, Motu (meaning island) is a stylish haven for tranquillity and relaxation. Offering ten self-contained beachfront villas, each is secluded within tropical gardens overlooking the peaceful lagoon. Featuring designer interiors and a collection of artworks from across the Pacific, each air-conditioned villa includes a spacious bedroom, living area, kitchenette, bathroom and shaded balcony. Look forward to discovering the sea life of the lagoon, strolling the deserted white sand beach, exploring the island by electric bicycle, watching the blazing sunsets of high summer, or enjoying a local beer before reclining by the fresh-water pool. We give our environment and our iti tangata (our people) the same care as our guests. We use environmentally friendly products and electric vehicles, and every stay at Motu contributes to our support of our community through healthcare, education and the arts. Come and experience Motu – our island within an island.

Bringing together the natural beauty of this stunning island, along with the serenity and isolation that only a small, premier beachfront accommodation can provide, Motu truly is the ultimate, private Cook Islands hideaway. This exclusive experience means that every guest is treated to the kind of personalized service that makes this an intimate, memorable holiday.
