The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa is laid out on a kilometre-long stretch of prime beachfront, famous Aroa Beach. Here you can choose to have as much privacy and seclusion, or fun and excitement, as you want – there’s plenty of options! Because the resort is spaciously laid out over 6 acres bordering the island's best stretch of private white sandy beachfront, you can always enjoy peace and privacy on the beach.

Other areas such as the Activities Hut, the Games Lounge and TE VAKA Restaurant in the evening, are hubs of exciting diversions or entertainment. Because The Rarotongan offers so much, you can easily ‘go with your mood’, whether you're feeling like mixing and mingling with other resort guests over sunset cocktails or taking in a show, or more like relaxing in your room or suite with a great in-house movie and ordering in. Great options make for a great, stress-free South Seas getaway!

Aroa Beach is the beach lover’s beach – a long swathe of white sandy beach lapped by a truly crystal clear blue lagoon. Step out of your room and you are just a few steps away from a stunning snorkelling adventure.
