Cook Islands Guide

Rarotonga Accommodation

RAROTONGA is the capital of Cook Islands; the island is blessed with white sand beaches and has an encircling coral reef that creates a shallow, safe lagoon of turquoise blue. This popular South Pacific destination offers all kinds of holiday accommodation, from all-inclusive resorts and hotels, to relaxing beach vacation rentals, budget motels to 5-star luxury villas. Rarotonga offers the ideal tropical paradise for doing as much or as little as you please; relax in a hammock or on the beach, paddle on the lagoon or go snorkelling to marvel at the underwater marine life. Feeling more active? Go scuba diving or fishing, enjoy shopping in the main town of Avarua, play a round of golf at the islands' golf course (visitors welcome!) or take the beautiful cross-island hike.

The International Airport is located not far from Avarua and on arrival you will be welcomed by a small band of Polynesian performers singing a song of welcome. From the airport your Rarotonga accommodation is never far away; the island can be circumnavigated by road in just 45 minutes, so the journey will range from 5-20 minutes.
