Your Adults-Only Absolute Beachfront Boutique Sanctuary
Enjoy one of Rarotonga's best beach and lagoon locations. With one big difference. Here at Sanctuary Rarotonga-on the beach (Adults Only), the beach and lagoon are practically all your own.
If you're searching for the place to deeply relax into each other's company, cocooned in your own private space, untroubled by the crazy busy world far away, then you've found it here at Sanctuary Rarotonga-on the beach, only for guests aged 16 and over. This is just the place for that perfect peace and privacy to reconnect with your special someone.
Romance & Relaxation - for adults only
Take a few languid steps from your suite and wriggle your toes in the soft cream-coloured sands of secluded Aroa Beach. Let your eyes drink in the shimmer and sparkle of the crystal-clear blue lagoon. Contemplate the vast Pacific Ocean just beyond the encircling coral reef.
Enjoy some luscious fresh tropical fruits for breakfast. Glide into the clean, clear waters of Aroa Lagoon for a refreshing dip, at any tide (most lagoons around Rarotonga are very tidal and unswimmable at low tide). Chase that up with a delicious lunch under the pergola beside the Sanctuary's pool in the dappled sunlight, then relax with a good book and a cool drink.
Mid-afternoon and the lagoon beckons again, this time to play with the many jewel-coloured tropical fishes which make Aroa Lagoonarium Marine Sanctuary the island's best snorkeling spot.Imagine that, Rarotonga's best snorkeling spot, straight off your own resort beach. After returning from your snorkeling adventure, slip into some comfortable resort wear and head down for a sunset cocktail and some mouth-watering beach-cuisine at the Bluewater Grill.
Just before bed, take a stroll hand-in-hand on the moonlit beach under a velvet-blue canopy of zillions of twinkling stars as the sound of the waves crashing on the reef carries across the lagoon.
Easy Rhythm
No crazy-busy rush. No schedule. No deadlines. Just the beautiful easy rhythm of the tides, the sun, the moon, and some perfect peace in which to reconnect with yourself and your beloved. And the perfect excuse? That can be an anniversary, special birthday, honeymoon, babymoon, wedding or...just a longed-for and much-needed romantic escape.
