Adrift in the South Pacific Ocean, a series of tiny spits of sand make up the Cook Islands. The most populous of these islands is Rarotonga. One of the few places in the world you would happily be a castaway, Rarotonga is the jewel in the crown of the Polynesian Islands. The remote island dream still exists here, and you couldn’t be further away from the hum-drum noise of the modern world. With a landscape you could only dream of, the island is shaped by vast jagged mountains, thick lush jungles and turquoise lagoons of almost incandescent beauty.
You immediately know you’re going to have fun when the hotel provides you complementary kayaks and snorkelling equipment when you arrive. Choose from beachfront hotels that stretch along the kilometres of golden sand, family friendly resorts with kids clubs or secluded villas miles from anything and anyone; perfect for romantic holidays. Relax in an air-conditioned room, self-contained apartment or deluxe studio right on the beach. Let the hotel do the hard work and book all your activities for you, then take in the sunset with a meal in the hotel restaurant by the ocean.
