The atoll is surrounded by the barrier of the triangular shape and is located in the geometric center of this triangle. The picturesque atoll is rich in the wonderfully beautiful lagoons. Here one can enjoy the recreation at the Sandstrand for days and lie in the sun in the quiet atmosphere.

Aitutaki atoll, Cook Islands The difficult access to Aitutaki is the reason for the calm and harmonious atmosphere. It is extremely rare to see the tourists on the beaches covered with snow-white sand. The atoll, which is distant from the great shorts, is popular among the dreamers and couples who are looking for a place to meet. The atoll consists of 15 tiny islands whose general area is 18 square meters. Some islands are uninhabited, and the total population of the Atoll population is less than 2,000 people.
