Hotels [edit]

Holty's Hideaway Ha'atafu is the best hotel in the whole of Tongatapu island. Of course it's rather expensive with room starting from US$300 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Tonga International Airport (TBU). Next hire a taxi or take a bus. The bus ride from Nukuʻalofa to Ha'atafu is about US$1 per way.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Haatafu is a dry cool season from May to October. You may also often see whales right from the shore in the period from June to November.
