Mauke
Unspoilt and Undiscovered
Icon

According to legend, Mauke was originally named Akatokamanava – ‘the place where my heart rested’ – by the Chief Uke after a long voyage from Avaiki. A fittingly romantic name for the beautiful island. The name 'Mauke' was used by later generations - it literally translates to 'Land of Uke'

Peace reigns supreme on this tiny island, cycling lazily around the coral roads curving gently through coconut palms and hard-wood trees. Every so often a small sandy beach emerges bordered by coral rocks. It’s the perfect place to de-stress and unwind with fruit and drinking coconuts picked fresh for you. This island’s way of life will leave you feeling replenished and revitalised. With a small community of 290, the people are some of the warmest and friendliest in the South Pacific. From the moment you step off the plane you are welcomed as one of their own.
