Aroa Beachside Resort  

On Rarotonga’s western sunset side in Arorangi, right on a white-sand beach with easy snorkeling and swimming. Minutes from Aroa Beach and Puaikura Beach, and a short drive to Black Rock and the National Stadium — a quiet adult-only (16+) beachfront hideaway perfect for honeymooners or a laid-back island escape.

Twelve self-contained units, island-style décor and private furnished balconies or patios give a relaxed, authentic vibe. Rooms include full kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and stovetops, safes and daily housekeeping — ideal for slow mornings and sunset cocktails.

Soak in the outdoor pool, rent bicycles, or step straight onto the beach for snorkeling, swimming or kayaking in crystal-clear water. Enjoy a beach bar, picnic and BBQ areas, a library, on-site massages and tour assistance — plus free self-parking and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, and practical services include laundry/dry cleaning, luggage storage and concierge support.

The Shipwreck Hut beachfront restaurant and beach bar serves a mix of local dishes and casual favorites, with alfresco seating, live music Tuesday–Sunday from 6pm and a cultural fire show every Monday at 7pm. Room service is available during limited hours and a complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00 AM.
