Tamanu Beach features Polynesian-style bungalows with modern amenities, including Kwila hardwood floors, indoor bathrooms with walk-in showers, and outdoor coral garden showers. Each bungalow offers lagoon views from private verandahs with daybeds, while beachfront units provide direct beach access. The resort serves island-inspired cuisine, including fresh fish, NZ beef, and lamb at its BBQ buffet, accompanied by a weekly live fire and dance show. Guests can book activities such as kite surfing, fishing trips, and scuba diving through the tour desk. Tamanu Beach is located 5 km from Aitutaki, near landmarks like Piraki Lookout and O'otu Beach.
