Ranginui's Retreat
A small, relaxed lagoonfront retreat on Ootu Beach, a few minutes from the airport and right beside our whale tour base
About Ranginui's Retreat
Ranginui’s Retreat is a quiet, self-catering hideaway on Ootu Beach. Six villas sit right on the water, each with its own deck looking out over the lagoon.
It’s the closest stay to our base at Ootu Beach, so you’re only a short walk from the boat each morning. The airport is about four minutes away by road.
With cooking facilities in every villa, it suits guests who like to come and go at their own pace. Spend afternoons on the small beach, paddling the lagoon or exploring the island by scooter.
