Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Butaritari?
The best area to stay in Butaritari is along the northern coast of the main island, particularly around the village of Ukiangang.

This area offers the most convenient access to the island's limited facilities and is where you'll find the primary guesthouses. The coastline here is characterised by sandy beaches and coconut groves, typical of a remote atoll. Ukiangang itself is a small, spread-out village with a few local shops and the main government offices.

For couples seeking a peaceful and authentic island experience, staying near Ukiangang is ideal. You'll be close to the lagoon for swimming and snorkelling, and the pace of life is incredibly relaxed, great for unwinding. It's also a good base for exploring nearby islets and experiencing local Kiribati culture.

Solo travellers looking for a genuine, off-the-beaten-path adventure will also find this area suitable. The small community means you're likely to interact more with locals, and the guesthouses often arrange activities like fishing trips or cultural demonstrations.

During this period, you'll find less rainfall and more consistent sunshine, making it ideal for outdoor activities like swimming, snorkelling, or exploring the island's natural beauty.
