RTW Trip Day #100: Vineyards, Tapas and Swimming at Onetangi Beach

5 January 2026

Steps: 3,620

We made it to 100 days!

What better way to celebrate our 100th day travelling, than spending some time relaxing by the pool before heading to a vineyard for some drinks, tapas, an afternoon swimming in the sea!

We definitely have mixed feelings about reaching this milestone.

We feel incredibly proud to have made it this far, and it feels even more special being surrounded by family. At the same time, there’s a hint of sadness knowing we only have a few days left before we fly home to Canada.

Casita Miro

We went to Casita Miró for lunch and it was absolutely wonderful. We didn’t take part in the wine tasting, but we enjoyed a selection of tapas while sitting in the sun on bean bags overlooking the vineyard, soaking up the warm breeze and views of rolling vines.

The whole place had a relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired charm, and the comfy bean bags tucked under the olive trees made it hard to leave. I could easily have spent hours there with a drink and a good book, and I don’t even read that often!

Onetangi Beach

After the vineyard we went to Onetangi beach, which is a lovely long stretch of sand, and the longest beach on the island. I went for a run along the beach (long overdue exercise) and then we all swam in the sea!  

The waves were gentle, the water was warm, and the beach never got too deep, making it a fantastic spot for kids. They could go far out with us and still touch the sand beneath their feet.

For dinner we cooked hamburger helper back at the apartment and took the opportunity to just relax in a nice place, as tomorrow we are back in separate hotel rooms in Auckland and then the day after we fly home to Canada.
