Banyan Escape

Small in scale.
Rich in feeling.

Banyan Escape is being created for travellers who want more than a room. A place to slow down, settle into island time and feel connected to the warmth of Aitutaki.

With just six private units, every stay is designed to feel peaceful, considered and personal.

Future addition

Private cold plunges

As Banyan Escape grows, we plan to add private cold plunges—another refreshing way to slow down and enjoy island living.

Future addition

Puava Eatery

Puava Eatery will follow in a future stage: a relaxed island eatery created to welcome our guests, locals and visitors.

Future addition

Guest e-bikes

We plan to make exploring Aitutaki easy with e-bikes for guests—a relaxed, low-impact way to get around the island.

Future plan

Off-grid solar power

Banyan Escape is planned to run on off-grid solar power, supporting a lighter footprint and more independent island living.

These experiences are part of our future plans and will not be available when the accommodation first opens.

Our island home

Aitutaki,
naturally unforgettable.

Set in Tautu, Banyan Escape offers a quieter base for discovering the island—its lagoon, villages, flavours and easy-going spirit.
