The Passage Villas  

On Rarotonga’s sun-soaked Avana coast, an intimate oceanfront aparthotel a short drive from Muri Beach. You’re about 5 minutes by car from Muri Beach and Avana Harbour, 0.5 km from Muri Lagoon and roughly 5 km from the island’s center.

A tiny collection of eight standalone villas set right on the shoreline, known for rich history and dramatic sunrise views. Rooms feature private balconies or patios and kitchenettes; expect microwaves, coffee/tea makers, satellite TV and DVD players. The vibe is laid‑back and secluded—hammocks, bean bags and beachfront evenings where whales sometimes breach just off shore.

Cool off in a deep salt‑water outdoor pool or wander the reef at low tide. Library, picnic and barbeque areas, terrace and garden spaces round out the grounds. Tour and ticket assistance, daily housekeeping, free self‑parking and car rental help keep island life easy.

Wired and wireless internet available for a surcharge, plus luggage storage and room service. Roundtrip airport shuttle is offered 24 hours for a surcharge and wedding/tour support is available on site.

Evening cocktails at the beachfront Bad Buoys tiki bar set a social island tone. Kitchenettes and in‑room coffee/tea makers make casual breakfasts easy, while the on‑site barbeque and picnic area are perfect for relaxed, local‑flavored meals.
