Ananoa Beach is set in a secluded location a few miles off the main road down a sandy track facing some great surfing breaks. Our property fronts a lovely white sand beach with sandy bottom swimming lagoon. We have several types of traditional beach fales all fronting the beach and all well spaced apart. Two open style fales are located at the far end of the beach, hidden by a large tropical tree giving them even more privacy, each fale having a raised double bed. We have one large open style fale with four raised beds which is used as a dormitory. We also have a large enclosed fale ideal for families.
Excellent offshore reef surfing breaks with boat access from the resort with stunning coastal walks and several outstanding nearby attractions including AfaAau waterfall and the Pulemelei ancient star mound both of which are 15 minutes drive by car.
