Bataiasi Village Stay

Nestled within the serene waters of Langa Langa Lagoon, just a short boat ride from Auki in Malaita Province, you'll find Bataiasi Village Stay. This charming retreat is owned by a local family who warmly welcome every visitor to their shores.

Experience genuine village life in a traditional setting during your stay at Bataiasi. Engage with friendly locals and learn about the ancient art of shell money making and the lifestyles of their ancestors.
