Arorangi

Arorangi blends pristine beaches with authentic Cook Islands culture along Rarotonga's sunset coast. Snorkel the crystal-clear lagoon waters, catch breathtaking sunsets on golden sands, or explore traditional coral stone churches. Beyond the shoreline, you'll discover local craft workshops and the Highland Paradise Cultural Centre showcasing island heritage. Resort restaurants serve Pacific Rim cuisine while local spots offer traditional ika mata (raw fish). Accommodation ranges from beachfront resorts to local guesthouses, all with tropical gardens and beach access. Getting around is easy with rental scooters or resort shuttles connecting you to Avarua and other island attractions.

If you're looking for a perfect beach in Rarotonga, head to Muri Beach to the East coast. There are a couple of sand motus in the lagoon, which you can swim or kayak to when the conditions are alright.

Beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and Polynesian fusion dishes like ika mata (raw fish salad) with stunning sunset views. Most visitors stay in luxury resorts or boutique hotels along the shore, though some holiday rentals offer more affordable options. Getting around is easy with rental scooters, bicycles, or resort shuttles that connect you to all of Rarotonga's attractions.
