Villa Aqua at Palm Beach

Villa Aqua is a peaceful coastal escape where relaxed comfort meets effortless island style. Perched above the turquoise waters of Palm Beach and part of the Waiheke Island Resort complex, this light-filled apartment offers a sense of space, calm, and connection to nature — the ideal setting for couples seeking privacy and a touch of luxury.

The open-plan layout flows from a super-king bed dressed in crisp linen through to a living area with Smart TV (Netflix & Sky Sports) and a fully equipped Italian-made kitchenette complete with fridge, microwave, and toaster. Large windows and double glazing frame the view while keeping the apartment quiet and comfortable. Air-conditioning, a heat pump, and Wi-Fi ensure all the modern conveniences are at hand.

Step onto the private terrace and take in the panoramic sea views — bright mornings, long sunsets, and the gentle sound of birds in the surrounding bush. The modern bathroom includes quality toiletries, soft towels, and heated fittings, and a washer-dryer is provided for longer stays.

As part of the Waiheke Island Resort complex, guests enjoy access to the on-site restaurant, bar, and swimming pool with poolside food and beverage service (operating seasonally and occasionally closed for private events). The beach is just a short walk away: safe for swimming at all tides, framed by native bush, and home to the local store for essentials and excellent coffee. Arcadia Restaurant, known for its friendly service and fresh, relaxed dining, is an easy ten-minute stroll.

The local bus stops right by the resort entrance, providing simple connections to the ferry, vineyards, and Oneroa Village. Whether you’re here for a weekend of wine and dining or a quiet retreat by the sea, Villa Aqua delivers effortless island living in one of Waiheke’s most beautiful locations.

A few steps lead up to the apartment, so please keep this in mind if you have limited mobility. Resort facilities operate seasonally — check with reception for current hours.

Please note: The resort’s pool and spa deck are shared facilities. A day pass fee of $10 per person applies for use of the pool and spa area, payable directly to the resort.

Waiheke Island forms part of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, home to native birds, coastal tracks, and regular dolphin and whale sightings. Just 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, it’s the perfect place to eat, drink, swim, and unwind — a true taste of island life.
