We just spent 8 incredible nights at Motu Art Villas and had the most amazing time! Our beachfront villa was stunning, stylishly furnished, and perfectly appointed. The staff, particularly Amy, Claire, Emma, and the rest of the team, were absolutely amazing – nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make our stay special. We especially loved the honesty bar and the complimentary Scott e-bikes, which were a fantastic way to explore the island. The complimentary see-through kayaks, SUPs, and snorkel gear were also a great touch. The location is perfect – right on a beautiful beach with crystal-clear turquoise water and amazing snorkelling right out the front. Plus, there's a convenient supermarket just across the street, and our villa had a well-equipped kitchenette. The villa's bathroom was beautiful, and we also fell in love with the resort's furry friends, Chester the dog and Kiki the cat. We were sad to leave and can't wait to come back!

Motu Villas were every bit as special as we had hoped. The villa was beautifully presented, with a great layout. Sitting on the deck, watching the waves crash on the reef was hypnotic. The snorkeling right by the villas was amazing, with loads of fish to see. Location is excellent, with a great shop opposite, and close to a good choice of bars, cafes and restaurants. All the staff did a great job to make our stay really special. Would recommend to everyone looking for a relaxing break, with a touch of luxury.

We had a fantastic stay at Motu Villas. The property has the feel of a luxury boutique hotel rather than a large resort. The villas are beautiful and newly decorated with gorgeous art from Cook Islands. We were provided with a refrigerator stocked with snacks, fresh fruit, and a nice bottle of wine. Amy and Claire are fantastic and were able to help us with dinner reservations and booking a turtle snorkeling tour. The villas are very private and we had an amazing view of the ocean. We hope to be able to visit again in the future!
