This is a private space and the only apartment on the first floor with views to the lagoon. Head downstairs and outside, the beach is 10 steps away with kayaks and snorkeling gear for your use!

Our guests that stay in the Apartment love the closeness to the lagoon and the huge bonus of having one of the best restaurants on the island a short stroll away to enjoy cocktails, dinner or pizza on the beach with the sand between your toes.

The Apartment itself is on the first floor, approximately 70m2, self contained and private with no neighbours either side, modern and airy and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable including a real comfy beds and plenty of room for everybody!

What makes the it stand out is where it is situated. The sunsets are incredible and can be seen off your deck, the beach is right there with no roads to cross and is quiet with golden coral free sand and great for walks when the day is ending.
Vaka Retreat guests have full access to all facilities onsite including the kayaks and snorkeling equipment

The beach is steps from the apartment and is all yours to enjoy and quiet as is away from the busy resorts and hotels so when you hit the lagoon its just you.
Throughout the booking process and during your stay we are on hand to help and only a phone call away. Upon booking we send our jam packed Guide Book full of the best things to do, see eat and drink on the island.

As we are living on the island but not onsite we will stop by at some stage to say Kia Orana (hello), other than that we leave you to it - it is your place for your entire stay.

There is a Guest Compendium that tells you everything you need to know, do and see to help you maximize your stay.

We want you to experience the island and what it has to offer for yourselves and our guests always go back home and spread the word on our little paradise island in the Pacific !

Who would Vaka Beach Retreat Suit?
- a couple wanting something modern, a bit up market but at a great nightly rate
- guests wanting to be close to the beach with no roads to cross just a few steps away but dont want to pay the large nightly rates for absolute beach front.
- guests wanting a private get away , the apartment is upstairs with no one else either side or above you - just you !
- those not wanting to be in the main tourist hubs of the island, the South Side is still quiet and not full of resorts and hotels. its easy enough to get to the main areas of the island but you dont need to be staying amongst it !

The owners have created a genuine vibrant island atmosphere and you will feel part of this friendly and busy community. there is a great convenience store just two minutes walk from the Apt as well as a takeaways and a dvd shop for those nights when you just want to relax with a movie after a day in the sun!
Getting around the island is so easy if you dont wish to have transport. There is a bus service that will take you clock or anti clockwise around the island every 45 mins - just tell the driver where you want to get off!

Lots of guests enjoy seeing the island by scooter which is a great way to get around especially when the suns out !

A more relaxing way to see the island is by hiring a bicycle either pedal or electric from Ride Rarotonga. they will even drop it off to the apartment .
