If you’re dreaming of a small, warm and sunny tropical island with stunning white sand beaches, sheltered clear blue turquoise lagoons and a range of restaurants all within walking distance then look no further.
The Cook Islands are situated in the heart of Polynesia and are comprised of 15 islands. Submerge yourself into the vibrant culture of song, dance and age old traditions that is so much a part of the Cook Islands way of life.
When we think of the Cook Islands we think of beautiful Rarotonga. Just imagine your footprints being the first of the day as you take a leisurely morning walk along one of her many white sand beaches. A few short steps from your bungalow you can spend lazy afternoons swimming and snorkelling in the clear blue lagoon or exploring the island as you venture out and about on your scooter. A cocktail in hand you watch another stunning sunset before a night of savouring fresh seafood and local produce from a variety of superb restaurants all within easy reach. Then at the end of another stress free and relaxing day you fall asleep to the lagoon waters lapping gently on the shore as the palm trees sway gracefully around you.
We think of heavenly Aitutaki. A haven for romance with days spent relaxing, swimming and snorkelling in the pristine clear blue lagoon and enough space and solitude to have that precious time together. Step back in time and experience this truly secluded island paradise where time means nothing and idyllic days turn into romantic nights.
Rarotonga is the vibrant centre of the Cook Islands.
Dominated by high mountain peaks and almost completely encircled by a reef, the calm turquoise lagoons, white sand beaches and palm fringed shores makes Rarotonga an inviting and popular holiday destination.
For a small island paradise Rarotonga offers an impressive range of accommodation, dining and activity options to suit all budgets. Choose from a resort style holiday with the convenience of everything on site to a small romantic property with only a few bungalows or opt for self catering facilities which are ideal for families.
The island is only 32 kilometres in circumference so getting around is easy! Scooters are a popular way to see the island and with only two main roads you can’t get lost! Stop for a swim, shop at the small craft stores dotted around the island or call into a café for a cool drink and a bite to eat – the choice is yours!
