Cook Islands Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa

Set on Aroa Beach, one of Rarotonga's most beautiful white sand beaches on the shores of Aroa Lagoon (the Lagoon of Love), The Rarotongan is located on the island's sunshine Southwest coast where guests can enjoy all-day sun, stunning sunsets, all-tide safe swimming and excellent off-beach snorkelling in the traditional marine sanctuary directly in front of the resort.

Expansively laid out amidst six acres of hibiscus, banana and coconut palms, none of the Resort's buildings are higher than two storeys, and most of The Rarotongan's 156 rooms & suites are set on absolute beachfront.
