“If you want to experience the real Cook Islands, then The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium is the perfect place to stay. This stunning resort is perfectly located directly on the beach to make the pristine waters the central focus. Family rooms, villas with private pools and gardens, and vibrant staff who cater to every member of the family’s needs, it’s no wonder they consistently take out top honours in the region.”

“There’s the unbeatable pristine white sandy beach with a gentle flow into the sparkling clean blue lagoon.
“There’s the chance for kids and the young at heart to get up close and personal with friendly tropical fishes in our stunning all-tide Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary.
“There’s free stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and a wide range of cultural activities such as learning to dance the ‘ura (hula), make a fresh flower ‘ei (lei), play the ukulele and island log drums or husk a coconut.
“There’s Kids and Teens right up to age 16 Stay Free.
“There’s Play Free in the Moko Kids Club – which is even open in the evenings to give parents some time-out for a quiet dinner together.
“There’s the wide range of family-friendly facilities such as the interconnected rooms, new 2-bedroom suites, stunning 3-bedroom private pool villas, and microwaves as standard in all rooms.
