Our boutique property, located near the stunning Titikaveka lagoon, offers a peaceful and authentic Cook Islands experience for independent travelers. We began with just one villa and a dream to create a place where guests could feel truly at home. Over the years, thanks to steady demand and strong guest feedback, we expanded thoughtfully, first to two villas, then three, maintaining our focus on personal service and high-quality guest experiences. Today, Makayla Palms comprises two self-contained studio villas and one two-bedroom villa, catering to couples, small groups, and families. Our team, made up of passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds, is key to the warm, personal service that defines every guest experience at Makayla Palms. From inception, our growth has been deliberate and values-driven, ensuring we maintain our boutique charm while enhancing our facilities, gardens, and environmental practices.
