A gathering of people
This gracious Samoan style contemporary longhouse, is where guests come together to dine, relax and mingle.
Elegantly decorated, Kukura House is contemporary, sleek and spacious, yet warm and welcoming. Guests can freely gravitate day or night, relax with a magazine or one of the many books from our library, play a board game or simply rest and enjoy herbal tea on one of the many daybeds. The cathedral like, high raked ceilings, natural wood features and fine flowing sheer fabrics, provide Kukura with a sense of splendour inspired by our volcanic red soils, coral trees and rich evening sunsets.
Kukura house is also home to our reception and Gaia Shop, where you will find a range of Certified Luxury Organic skin care, take-home produce, cookbooks, hand woven clothes and locally sourced artefacts.
The Pool
Our curved, free-form pool nestled in lush lawns is the perfect setting to pause, breathe and realign. Stretch out on the sun loungers and read a novel, enjoy a leisurely dip while you soak up some Vitamin D or enjoy evening chai on our lounge deck.
