Room Information

Three mezzanine style villas are located directly on a secluded beach front. Upstairs is the master bedroom with views through a large window to the ocean. Downstairs is the lounge and kitchen area and a second bedroom with the bathroom. Each villa has a large sun deck accessed through French doors that look out onto the beach and ocean. Villas have DVD, TV, stereo, personal laundry and are serviced daily.

Hotel Amenities

The beach directly infront of Whitesands has soft white sand and fronts a beautiful turquoise lagoon with good swimming and snorkelling. The beach stretches for several kilometres in both directions and makes for great exploring. The south cost is the quietest beach area on Rarotonga so there are no crowds and just a few tourists and locals out fishing walking up and down the beach.

There is ample parking space for those hiring a car. The villas are self contained and there are only a couple of restaurants walking distance so car hire is recommended for those looking to explore a bit.
