The Rarotongan Beach Resort and Spa

The Cook Islands is a necklace of natural pearls in the heart of the South Pacific. Rarotonga is the capital island, with a centre of high mountains clothed in rainforest and encircled by white sandy beaches and shimmering turquoise lagoons. The Rarotongan Resort is located on the island's sunshine Southwest coast where guests can enjoy all-day sun, stunning sunsets, all-tide safe swimming and excellent off-beach snorkeling in the traditional marine sanctuary directly in front of the resort. Expansively laid out amidst six acres of hibiscus, banana and coconut palms, none of the Resort's buildings are higher than two story's, and most of The Rarotongan's 156 rooms & suites are set on absolute beachfront. Resort facilities and services include poolside Cafe & Bar and Treetops Verandah Restaurant featuring daily a la carte specials & nightly theme dinners with a variety of top-quality live entertainment.

The emphasis at the Moko’s Kids Club is on fun combined with learning about the unique natural world and cultural heritage of Rarotonga – the island volcano, the rainforest plants and creatures, tropical fruits, life on the coral reef, and the local customs of the people, from drumming, dancing, outrigger canoeing, and ei (flower garland) making, to the 101 uses of the Tree of Life, the coconut palm. The Club’s extensive resources include computer games, videos, a library with a good selection of books (both fact and fiction), painting & drawing materials, a large range of toys, games, musical instruments, and play and sports equipment with the emphasis on beach and lagoon activities such as snorkeling, swimming and beach volleyball. But the Club’s biggest asset is undoubtedly its Cook Islands’ caregivers, famed for their unaffected warmth and genuine friendliness.
