Stay in a Villa in the Islands of Tonga
Stay in one of the guest rooms of a colonial-style villa or rent out a private piece of paradise at one of the holiday villas in Tonga. That’s right, the term “villa” is used rather loosely in Tonga in terms of accommodation, but you can find generally both types of villas.
Large villas of multiple guest rooms, lounges and other shared facilities can be found in the capital, Nuku’alofa, whereas villa-style holiday homes are available (albeit sparsely) in the islands of Vava’u and Tongatapu. Check out some of your options with this list of villas in Tonga.
Note that Tonga is an ever-evolving country with some services that accommodations provide changing with little notice. While we try to keep our accommodation listings up-to-date, know that some services may have changed. If you have an update, feel free to reach out.
