Rarotonga Accommodation Royale Takitumu 16 An intimate resort, located directly on pristine Titikaveka Lagoon, Royale Takitumu is an all-villa property, providing a genuine, uniquely Cook Islands holiday. The 10 exclusive, free-standing, thatched-roof villas, all boast breath- taking views of the palm-fringed sandy beach and turquoise lagoon and are spread over 1.3 arces of immaculate tropical grounds. Rock pools and flowering lily ponds shaded by towering palms, breadfruit trees and exotic hibiscus feature throughout this nature lover’s paradise. Each authentic villa was designed and decorated in true Polynesian style, with guests’ privacy and luxury in mind. The added touches means that every guest is treated to personalised service that makes for an intimate, memorable holiday. The Jewel in the crown is just a few steps from your villa, and is Rarotonga’s premier white sand beach in the heart of Titikaveka. This magnificent beach stretches unbroken for some 8 kilometres in both directions and borders a crystal clear lagoon. Here, you are assured of unrivalled safe snorkelling and kayaking at all tides. There are no large hotels nearby so the beach is virtually your own. Royale Takitumu’s staff are warm, friendly and welcoming people. Make sure you go along to the complimentary morning tea or Friday afternoon petanque get-togethers and you’ll see just exactly the kind of atmosphere which makes Royale Takitumu so special. This romantic hideaway is designed for couples of all ages and is ideal for honeymoons or special occasions. 16
