Tianas Beach Villas, Muri Beach, Rarotonga

Tianas Beach Villas offers two self-contained bungalows and three studio units on Muri Beach, Rarotonga — simple, self-catering accommodation just a few steps back from the sand. The property is unmanaged, with the local owner living nearby and providing self-check-in for guests.

Tianas Beach Villas offers two self-contained bungalows overlooking Muri Beach — a simple, no-frills option for independent-minded guests happy to do their own thing. The one-bedroom bungalows sit at the quiet southern end of Muri Beach, a short walk from the restaurants and activity of central Muri.

Each purpose-built wooden bungalow has an open-plan lounge/kitchen area, a separate bedroom with a Queen bed, a small bathroom, and a private wooden balcony overlooking the beach and lagoon. This is budget, self-catering accommodation rather than a managed resort — if you want a straightforward, affordable stay right on the beach, it delivers on that.

The two bungalows sit alongside a small collection of studio units on the same property, leased as long-term rentals. Local shops, a laundromat, tour operators and scooter/vehicle rentals are all just around the corner, along with the restaurants and buzz of Muri.
