Deservedly popular and occupying a thin but picturesque stretch of sand (with a small motu as a backdrop), Fare Miti has only eight functional bungalows with few frills and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. They were modernised in 2015 and can sleep up to four (at a pinch). Kayaks and snorkel gear are complimentary. It’s all within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

You can also order a meal and have it delivered to your bungalow. The best choice and most expensive unit – bungalow 5 – is right on the beach; bungalows 4 and 6 offer great lagoon views, while the others are back in the garden.
