Rarotonga Hotels

WHAT makes Rarotonga in Cook Islands the perfect destination for your South Pacific holiday? Just about everything, including the white coral sand beaches that lead into the calm, warm waters of the turquoise lagoon that encircles the island. Hotel accommodation is found right around the coastline of Rarotonga in the form of hotels, apartments, resorts, budget hostels, vacation rentals and modern luxury villas. These make ideal choices for any holiday, including family vacation, honeymoon, corporate retreat or island wedding.

Here is an island big enough to enjoy and explore, but small enough to get around easily and enjoy all that it has to offer. Favourite pastimes during any stay on Rarotonga include relaxing on the beach or swimming, snorkelling or kayaking in the lagoon. Other activities both on land and in the water are available, including scuba diving, fishing, cruising in a glass bottom boat, sailing, hiking, cycling and golf. Do as much or as little as you please.
