Highlights

The Brand-New Resort – Eco-friendly adults-only luxury, perfectly located by the ocean

Halfway between Hawaii and Australia lies Rarotonga, a tropical paradise filled with plenty of history and unspoiled landscapes, framed by glimmering waters. The brand-new Ocean Escape Resort & Spa is the perfect place for you to recharge your batteries and experience life on island time. Here, the only decision you need to make is how long you should spend lazing by the fresh ocean water chlorine-free infinity pool (the only of its kind on the island) or whether the day calls for a hike to the island’s majestic volcanic peak or a relaxing sunset stroll along the beach. Maybe your day will be filled searching for the best Polynesian cuisine, catching a cultural show, visiting the Punanga Nui Market or venturing out to the surrounding reefs.

A focus on eco-conscious options is evident throughout the resort, combining sustainability and luxury. All products used are environmentally friendly and have been carefully sourced; solar panels have been installed; and each villa has been designed to make the most of natural cooling, with a clever double-level design. Each of these small steps makes a large impact when it comes to protecting the island.

Local Tips – Snorkel untouched reefs by day and experience traditional music and dancing at night

With so much natural beauty surrounding the Cook Islands, it’s no wonder locals are so happy. Outside the resort, a day trip to Aitutaki is simply unmissable. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a boat trip out to the lagoon and don your snorkel as you swim through one of the world’s largest coral lagoons. Or, explore the tiny, uninhabited tropical islets for a taste of true seclusion. There’s plenty to discover on Rarotonga, one of the largest islands with a striking mountain landscape and pure white beaches. Be sure to visit the 19th-century Christian Church and immerse yourself in the local culture with traditional dances accompanied by drums and delicious fare.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Breakfast hamper, welcome wine and roundtrip transfers

Arrive and depart with ease, thanks to included roundtrip transfers. Fuel up for days of relaxation or discovery with a breakfast hamper, filled with local produce and bakery treats for you to enjoy in your villa, and delivered once every three nights throughout your stay.

Plus, arrive to a bottle of sparkling wine in your villa and raise a glass on your private deck, then later, relax with one 60-minute couples’ massage per package.

Longer stay bonus: Stay 8+ nights and enjoy two 60-minute couples’ massages per package.

This is truly a wonderful place to stay. the Rooms are emaculate with everything you will need for a wonderful stay. The resort facilities are all their pool and a wonderful Spa, bar and restaurant. But the thing that puts this in the top tier for me is the people Barry and Jade just could not be better they helped with any question or need. Their staff were treated with kindness and they shared that with all the visitors they all were happy to make our stay the best and it was. Raro is just beautiful to add to the resort. I can recommend this resort you will not regret staying here and maybe have the best trip ever as this is what we felt when we got home.
