What makes this property unique
The faint sound of waves crashing on the reef, the whisper of palms swaying in the breeze, the sparkle of the water in the lagoon style pool …. KIA ORANA and welcome to just a few of the joys of staying at Arcadia Retreat.
Our small piece of paradise embodies the definition of Arcadia “an unspoiled wilderness of simple, quiet pleasure“.
