Why choose the Cook Islands

Like One Big Resort
Why Cook Islands

Unlike other island destinations, where you may find yourself resort bound, our islands are naturally designed to be explored by scooter, car, or the bus will pick you up and drop you off wherever you choose! There’s just one road that goes round and it only takes 45-minutes to drive the whole island – it’s like one big resort!

No Crowds
Why Cook Islands

Only 18,000 people live in the Cook Islands. It’s so easy to engage with the warm local Māori people and enjoy wide open beaches and clear turquoise lagoons. North of Rarotonga, Aitutaki lagoon is populated by pristine islets of white sand and coconut trees.

No High-Rise Hotels
Why Cook Islands

There's a local Cook Islands law that states no building can be taller than the coconut trees around it. You also won't find traffic lights or stop signs here. It's like going back to simpler times yet still being able to enjoy today's modern conveniences. And instead of being confined to an expensive resort, you're close to everything no matter where you stay.

Vibrant Culture
Why Cook Islands

Our happy, friendly and vibrant people love engaging with travellers and sharing our modern Polynesian lifestyle. From lazing on the beach, and shopping at the markets to enjoying a cocktail as the sun sets at a local beach bar, the locals are right there with you, sharing in the magic and joy of island life.
