 Discover the Cook Islands just as Captain Cook did ... unspoilt, unhurried, unique.
The Cook Islands is a necklace of natural pearls in the heart of the South Pacific. Rarotonga is the capital island, with a centre of high mountains clothed in rainforest and encircled by white sandy beaches and shimmering turquoise lagoons.
The pace here is supremely relaxed, the mood carefree, the culture vibrant, and the people probably the friendliest you'll meet anywhere.
The Cook Islands signature resort is The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa, set directly on the beautiful white sandy shores of Aroa Lagoon on Rarotonga's sunshine coast. The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa is the Cook Islands' signature resort. Here, modern comforts blend with the charm of traditional Polynesia to add up to perfect relaxation on the beach. The Rarotongan is renowned for its warm and friendly Cook Islands staff with open hearts and smiles.
 Expansively laid out amidst six acres of hibiscus, banana and coconut palms, none of the Resort's buildings are higher than two storeys, and most of The Rarotongan's 156 rooms & suites are set on absolute beachfront.
