Pacific Island Paradises

COOK ISLANDS Manuia Beach Resort Your Polynesian paradise at Manuia Beach Resort awaits you. Marvel at the magical sunsets over a sparkling blue lagoon while lounging on the white sandy beach fringed with swaying coconut palms. Wander through the tropical gardens on your way to the beachside infinity pool. Rest your elbows on the pool edge and soak in the view across the beach and the lagoon to the waves crashing on the barrier reef beyond. Sip a refreshing tropical cocktail delivered to you from the Beaches Restaurant and Bar, or enjoy Polynesian inspired meals in the restaurant while you trail your toes through the sandy floor. Manuia Beach Resort is set right on the beach in private and peaceful surroundings on the sheltered Sunset Coast of Rarotonga. You will love the authentic Cook Islands' style accommodation, available in garden and beachfront settings with coconut thatched suites complete with island style décor and modern amenities such as air- conditioning. Each room has a spacious veranda complete with outdoor furniture, where meals can be enjoyed if desired, or just relax and enjoy the privacy in your own little piece of heaven at your Cook Island resort. Walk along the sandy path down to the water and be stunned by the beauty of the poolside area. The infinity pool, sun loungers invitingly facing the beautiful lagoon, the relaxed atmosphere of Beaches Restaurant and Bar serving authentic Polynesian cuisine and the attentive staff combine to set the stage for your dream Rarotongan getaway. Watch the waves on the reef, and fishermen in the lagoon while you enjoy your complimentary tropical breakfast, or choose from the wider menu available. Cocktail hours are popular with special nights held on occasions complete with local entertainment. Dinner brings a number of options; a Polynesian inspired menu can be served under the kikau thatched roof of the restaurant, or on your special table by the beach or pool where you can watch the sun go down and enjoy the night sky. Or why not enjoy a romantic dinner for two in a private setting with a special menu devised for the occasion.
