Motu is beautiful. It’s the most relaxing place I’ve ever been. Sitting on the sun lounges overlooking the lagoon, book in hand was bliss. The snorkelling in the lagoon was magical. The villas were stunning, and all the staff lovely. It’s a slice of paradise

This is a fantastic place to stay, Titikavika is one of the best beaches on Rarotonga and Motu Villas is perfectly placed to take advantage of the beach. The villas are lovely, so nice to see the display of art from Pasific artists, and have all that is required to be self contained, and I appreciated the complimentary food and drinks waiting in my villa. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Although there is no restaurant it is an easy walk to Charlie’s (the sashimi and ika mata are excellent)and Te Marie Gardens (the cheesecake is fabulous) and an easy drive to muri. Would definitely stay here again. Meitaki mata Motu Villas.
