There are six places to stay on Atiu with a seventh on the way. We recommend as the best place to stay, but if you are needing to save a few dollars check out the prices of Atiu's other places to stay. If you are single, the cheapest will be the guesthouse, Are Manuiri, but if you are travelling with a partner or friends you may find that sharing a villa at Atiu Villas is a better deal.

Depending on how coddled you want to be, you can engage the experts on Cook Island holidays or you can try and save by arranging your own holiday in the Cook Islands. Depending on how good you are, your attempts at arranging your own holiday to save money may waste your precious holiday time as you scramble for forgotten transfers, meals and tours. You could find your final cost per leisure hour left may be much higher. And keeping this cost/leisure hour ratio down is what an inexpensive holiday is all about.
