Rarotonga Island Resorts

ONE of the most beautiful South Pacific travel destinations is the island of Rarotonga in Cook Islands. Rarotonga is a stunning island blessed with white coral sand beaches with a calm inner lagoon ideal for safe snorkelling, swimming and kayaking. Views of the ocean waves breaking on the outer reef form a scenic vista. The island is roughly circular and renowned for the majestic highland peaks that rise in the centre.

The natural beauty of Rarotonga forms the perfect backdrop for any Cook Islands vacation. There are a number of resort accommodations including the Edgewater Resort located on the west-facing beach and the Pacific Resort located at Muri Lagoon on the eastern coastline; Muri Beach is one of the most popular vacation spots on Rarotonga due to its wider lagoon and small offshore islets or motu.
