A Romantic Luxury Holiday in the Cook Islands

Looking for somewhere to go for your second honeymoon?  Or perhaps you just want a destination brimming over with romance, luxury, and elegance?  The Cook Islands are the perfect place for a holiday full of picture perfect moments to last in your memory for a lifetime.

The Cook Islands don’t have a massive amount of tourism, so your romantic holiday is sure to be a private one.  If you agree that nothing is more annoying than a beach full of people, you’ll rejoice in the laid back and quiet atmosphere of these beautiful islands.  Of the fifteen islands, only two have the capabilities to support tourists.  These are Rarotonga and Aitutaki, two islands completely varied in their geography but both romantic destinations in their own right.

Aitutaki is the more stereotypical of the two islands.  A true paradise island, Aitutaki is a wonderful representation of the best that the South Pacific has to offer with blue, jewel-like waters and sunny white beaches.  The fifteen small islets and the main volcanic island are ringed by a barrier reef, meaning that Aitutaki has one of the largest lagoons in the world.  Beach sports are the order of the day here where everyone is eager to surf and dive the day away.  Your whole world is your resort, so make sure you pick the best of them all.  With choices like the Pacific Resort Aitutaki, you won’t have any trouble doing that.

Rarotonga offers rugged island scenery at its best.  Though it’s the largest of the Cook Islands, it still only twenty miles in circumference, giving it a surprisingly intimate feel.  When you travel here, this is where you’ll be landing, as it is the home of the international airport and the largest city, Avarua.

Rarotonga’s landscape is dominated by towering volcanoes and lush rainforest, sloping down to sandy beaches and tall palm trees.  There is plenty to explore; a four wheel drive safari is recommended to explore in and around the dense rainforest, unless you’d prefer horseback.  Enjoy a brief stop off for a refreshing swim under one of the island’s many sparkling waterfalls.

There are almost too many luxury resorts to choose from on Rarotonga, all promising elegance and comfort throughout your holiday.  It’s all down to your personal preference; if you’d like style and elegance, you might choose the Little Polynesian, recently redecorated to capture the perfect island feel.

If you’re after absolute privacy and your own pool, Sea Change, tucked away on the south coast, is the perfect choice.  The resort has just eight villas; each has its own freshwater pool, shower designed especially for two and a kingsize four poster bed.  For those looking to include a little romance in their holiday, this resort is truly the perfect choice.  Plus, you can cater for yourself or dine in one of Rarotonga’s delicious restaurants; your holiday will be defined by you and only you.

The Cook Islands are one of the world’s most luxurious holiday destinations.  Consider booking your holiday today.
