Pacific Island Paradises

COOK ISLANDS This is the only resort on the island to offer its own lagoon cruiser. The Moana Roa (lagoon cruiser) cruises out into Muri Lagoon for coral viewing, fish feeding and snorkelling off the boat. The tour operates every day except Sunday and is a perfect day out for the whole family. While a variety of activities is available in Muri to entertain guests, the rest of the island also has much to offer. For those who wish to explore Rarotonga, scooters and cars are available for hire on-site and are the perfect way to see the island. Mingle with the locals at weekly markets, tackle the cross-island hike, join a diving or sightseeing tour, and experience the natural wonders and culture of Rarotonga. Say 'I do' in a tropical paradise Pacific Resort Rarotonga is the perfect place to say 'I do'. With an idyllic white sand beachfront overlooking stunning turquoise waters of Muri Beach and Lagoon, this 4-star boutique resort is the ideal venue for an unforgettable, romantic wedding experience. Couples can choose to say their vows surrounded by lush tropical gardens in the manicured resort grounds, barefoot on the pristine white sands of Muri Beach or standing on the shore of Koromiri, an uninhabited islet located in front of the resort on Muri Lagoon. The Island Princess Ceremony package includes a traditional vaka lagoon ride with a warrior, shell horn announcement by an island warrior, romantic ukulele serenade, island maiden dancer and a handwoven coconut palm and flower archway. With the resort's specialist wedding coordinator helping every step of the way, couples will enjoy a romantic day that exceeds all expectations. If guests are after some pampering, they can relax and leave the pressures of the world behind and enjoy a massage treatment in the privacy of their own room, on the beach (weather permitting) or alternatively at the nearby sister property, Te Manava Luxury Villas & Spa. Other facilities include 24-hour reception, internet and email services, speciality gift shop, self-laundering facilities and the Pacific Village complex that has a doctor's surgery, gift shop, Telecom store and hair and beauty salon. No matter how guests choose to fill their days at this breathtakingly beautiful resort, one thing is certain—they will leave feeling rested, restored, renewed and above all, determined to return.
