The colours of paradise ...
Your toes in the white sandy beach ...
Meeting the friendly reef fish in the blue lagoon...
Swaying in a hammock in the cool green shade of a coconut palm...
The true Cook Islands resort, in the heart of the South Seas.
Kia Orana and Welcome to The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa,
the Cook Islands’ iconic Signature Resort.
Some say that until you’ve been to the Cook Islands,
you have yet to truly experience the South Pacific.
Journey here to The Rarotongan to discover that true South Pacific spirit. Nestled directly on Aroa Beach, Rarotonga's best white sand beach on the island's sunshine coast, here you can experience a unique and special slice of paradise ~ the real Cook Islands.
And right in front of The Rarotongan, directly off Aroa Beach, you’ll discover the Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve, Rarotonga’s best snorkelling spot. Here, encircled by the protection of the natural coral reef, you can play with the rainbow-coloured reef fish to your heart’s content. A rare tropical treat.
You can find a number of hotels and resorts on Rarotonga, but only at The Rarotongan can you truly find Rarotonga in your resort.
When you're yearning for the tropical island escape of your dreams - complete with sun, sand, sea and the spirit of the South Seas - The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa awaits you.
DID YOU KNOW? ...
• Rarotonga, Cook Islands, is just 3 ½ hours flying time from Auckland, New Zealand?
• You can fly direct from Los Angeles to Rarotonga?
• Both Air New Zealand and Pacific Blue fly to Rarotonga on a frequent schedule
• The currency of the Cook Islands is the New Zealand dollar, making it quite possibly the best-value holiday destination anywhere. Here’s what Jim Eagles, Editor of the New Zealand Herald’s Travel supplement had to say in his analysis of the plummeting value of the Kiwi dollar (“Less bang for your buck”): “Even Fijian holidays sound a bit expensive when you discover that the kiwi has fallen 22 per cent against the Fijian dollar … And other Pacific Islands look just as expensive with our spending power down by around a quarter in the likes of Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. … Across the Tasman … things aren’t quite so bad. In the last year we’ve only lost 9 per cent against the Australian dollar. Right now, though, the cheapest place to holiday is right here in New Zealand … or in the Cook Islands where they use our dollar.” (10 March 2009)
• So whatever currency you’re carrying – Australian, American, Euros or the humble Kiwi dollar – nowhere compares for value than right here in the heart of the South Seas. Treat yourself to the unique, exotic and exceptional Cook Islands!
