Royale Takitumu Villas is set in 1.3 acres of lawns, palms and tropical gardens right on the beachfront of Rarotonga's premier white sand beach and a safe, crystal clear swimming lagoon.

And yet, because of restrictions on development, here there are few beachcombers and no large hotels.

Yours may well be the first footprints on the beach - at 9 am!
