Muri Beachcomber
With wonderfully personalised and friendly service it’s not hard to
see why this absolute beachfront property is one of the island’s most
popular and well-established venues. With a range of self-catering
accommodation styles to suit all – from the garden and larger family
garden units which are perfect if you decide to ‘pack’ the kids, to the
Seaview and Watergarden villas ideal for couples – you’re sure to find
the right fit for you and the family.
Enjoying a 5-star location at Muri Beach and in the heart of Muri Village
you’re within walking distance of some of the island’s best cafés and
restaurants. A pharmacy, gift shops, a delicatessen and wine shop are
close by and if you want to venture further afield, the local bus stops at
the gate. All of this is on offer at a great value!
Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel
10
Located beachfront at beautiful Titikaveka but without the usual
beachfront price-tag, this hotel has a lot to offer. Starting with its large
stretch of silky white sands and an iridescent blue lagoon, this is the
ultimate South Sea setting. And, even though the rates are so reasonable,
accommodation is of a great standard. Rooms are attractively decorated
and all have cooking facilities, water views and furnished outdoor sun
areas.
There are 12 Beachfront Studios over two floors, each containing a
small kitchenette and bathroom with shower. On the upper floor, five
Deluxe Beachfront Studios offer significantly more space, with a larger
kitchenette and balcony at palm-tree level for lazy lagoon-watching.
The atmosphere here is relaxed, friendly and the location is peaceful. Try
out their excellent licensed restaurant which provides tasty breakfast,
lunch and dinner daily.
