Rarotonga Vacation Guide

Rarotonga is the main island of the Cooks and is home to the capital city Avarua and Cook Islands International Airport. Rarotonga is the most populated island and also has the largest amount of tourist accommodation. Since 20000 there has been a large expansion of vacation accommodation options, especially luxury villas and homes for rent. Rarotonga is circled by a beautiful reef and a white coral beach occurs almost the entire way round. Being a small island, it offers great beach destinations for travelers with easy access from the airport. This also makes it ideal for stopover holidays for those travelings across the South Pacific. Pre-booking is essential.
