Most luxury resorts in Cook Islands have a pool. Ocean Escape Resort & Spa has Rarotonga’s only fresh ocean lagoon pool, while each villa at Rumours Luxury Villas & Spa comes with its own private pool. For stunning beachfront views poolside, look to Little Polynesian Resort or Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas, both in Rarotonga.
Rarotonga’s north coast is closest to the airport and the capital, Avarua, where you’ll find shops, museums and outdoor markets. The south of Rarotonga is home to the best beaches on the island, with deep lagoons perfect for snorkelling and non-motorised watersports.
Yes. Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort is an adults-only escape with overwater bungalows in the Cook Islands. Enjoy direct access to the lagoon, an outdoor shower, private walled garden, king bed and sweeping views.
