If you were ordered away from the stunning turquoise lagoon, the perfect beaches, the idyllic island lifestyle and the welcoming people of Aitutaki…you might stage a mutiny too.

 The paradise island of Aitutaki has a fabled turquoise lagoon edged by a crescent of the purest white sand. Palm trees make picturesque silhouettes against a flawlessly blue sky. The feeling of being a million miles from the hassle of everyday life is complete.

In fact, Aitutaki is so beautiful, so beguiling in its warmth and welcome that it probably inspired that most notorious saga in British naval history; the mutiny of the crew of the Bounty. Just 18 days after Captain Bligh ordered his sailors to leave, they rebelled.

You, of course, have a less drastic option. You can simply plan to extend this part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to the Cook Islands.
