Weddings & Honeymoons
Icon

There are endless picturesque locations on either Rarotonga's main island or Aitutaki's smaller island. You can marry barefoot on a secluded beach at sunset, standing in a heart-shape of shells, in a whitewashed coral church with a spine-tingling gospel choir, on a private islet under a tropical flower arch, or beside the infinity pool of a luxury resort. Or you can experience an exclusive, secluded, and completely romantic Cook Islands honeymoon with your significant other. It’s newlywed heaven.
