The Best Accommodations on ‘Eua for Couples
Far from your conventional couples’ getaway in the South Pacific, ‘Eua is definitely an island for the adventurous. With very few tourists, especially outside of the whale season, the island is one that you can have all to yourselves. Or, at least it feels that way when you’re exploring its glorious golden-sand beaches and verdant rainforest. Some of the most romantic stays range from glamping to boutique guesthouses; so you can put images of luxury resorts behind you. This is ‘Eua: raw, natural and unapologetically beautiful.

1. Blue Water Retreat
The closest thing to a resort on ‘Eua, Blue Water Retreat offers a small selection of ocean-view ensuite bungalows. But for something utterly romantic, be sure to book one of their glamping tents. These elegant tents are set atop an elevated private deck and kitted out with tasteful furniture, truly setting the scene for a romantic getaway. Ferry/airport transfers are included in the accommodation rates, while whale watching, spearfishing and island tours, as well as creative buffet-style meals at the onsite restaurant, can all be organised with the resort for an effortless stay.
2. Talei’s Guesthouse
A well-presented guesthouse complex at the northern end of Angaha, Talei’s Guesthouse boasts six private units, as well as a restaurant and liquor store on-site. Food is at the fore of this affordable accommodation with breakfast included and one of the only restaurants on the island – who wants to be cooking all honeymoon? All rooms are tastefully furnished with an ensuite and other basic necessities like a desk, hot water and a fan. Your hosts also offer complimentary wharf/airport transfers.
3. Toafa Lodge
The new kid on the block, Toafa Lodge offers 10 private queen ensuites along the main road in Pangai. In-room amenities include hot drink-making facilities (but you’ll need to provide your own drinks), while complimentary breakfast is served in your room. Rooms have tiled floors to keep the place cool, while the ensuite bathrooms are fully tiled. Other services include lunch and dinner if ordered ahead of time, airport/wharf transfers for a fee, and car rental for a daily fee. They can also arrange whale watching and island tours on your behalf. Toafa Lodge is available to book on Booking.com.
4. Tukia Complex
Not only is Tukia Complex kitted out for couples seeking a self-sufficient stay, but its quiet location makes it one of the more romantic accommodations on ‘Eua. Tukia offers two two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit, all fully self-contained with a bathroom and an open-plan lounge and dining area with a full kitchen including an oven. A few welcome touches are some light toiletries provided, laundry machines, an iron (which is quite rare in Tonga) and complimentary airport/wharf transfers.
A rental car is advised for staying at this out-of-town accommodation in Ha’atu’a, which you can find out more about in The Best Car Rentals on ‘Eua.
5. Pacific-Sila Lodge
Split into two guesthouses, Pacific-Sila Lodge is your home away from home in the village of Sapa’ata. Either rent one of the double rooms and share the guesthouse facilities, or rent the entire unit for yourself. Whatever you choose, you’ll have access to a cutely decorated lounge, laundry facilities and a well-equipped kitchen where supplies are easy to gather from one of the three grocery stores nearby or even from the on-site fale koloa (small shop).
