Cook Islands

The Rarotongan Beach Resort and Spa, one of Rarotonga’s largest properties, has many different accommodation options for both the romantic couple and family alike.

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 stories, and most of The Rarotongan's 156 rooms & suites are set on absolute beachfront.

Set on Aroa Beach, one of Rarotonga's most beautiful white sand beaches on the shores of Aroa Lagoon, the Lagoon of Love.

The Rarotongan is located on the island's sunshine Southwest coast where guests can enjoy all-day sun, stunning sunsets, all-tide safe swimming.

There is excellent off-beach snorkeling in the traditional marine sanctuary directly in front of the resort.

Rather than marry in church surrounded by pomp, obligation and long-lost relatives, more and more couples are choosing to run away to a deserted beach on a tropical island surrounded by little more than the sea, the sky and the sand.

Rarotonga, the heart of the South Pacific and one of the most romantic places on Earth, is the pick of the bouquet for many couples from all four corners of the globe looking for a special place to exchange their vows.

One bride, a pilot, chose a flowing navy gown in which to say "I do", another chose lilac lace, and a two-tiered heart-shaped chocolate wedding cake!
