Manuia Beach Resort

On Rarotonga’s sheltered sunset coast in Arorangi, steps from a white‑sand private beach and a sparkling blue lagoon. This adults‑only beachfront beach resort sits near Black Rock and is a short drive from Rarotonga International Airport. Perfect for a romantic, low‑key island escape in the Cook Islands.

Twenty‑four Polynesian‑style rooms and coconut‑thatched suites nestle in lush tropical gardens, with six beachfront rooms offering uninterrupted lagoon and Pacific Ocean views. Rooms include air conditioning, ceiling fans, bar fridges, tea/coffee facilities, safes, irons and private furnished balconies or patios; bathrooms feature outdoor showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. The vibe is intimate and island‑authentic—sand‑floor dining, thatched decor and sea‑breeze mornings set the tone.

Infinity‑edge freshwater pool overlooking the lagoon, a sheltered white‑sand private beach, beach and pool bars, and a sand‑floor beachfront restaurant. Rent bicycles, browse the gift shop, book excursions or wedding services, and enjoy on‑site massage, mini‑golf and diving options. Free self‑parking and a 24‑hour airport shuttle service are available.

Business center, luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry services, plus concierge assistance. Wireless internet access is available and the property offers round‑trip airport shuttle service.

Beaches Restaurant & Bar (On the Beach) sits right on the sand with pool views and relaxed, authentic Polynesian cuisine. Sip tropical cocktails at the beach bar or poolside bar, enjoy room service during limited hours and fuel mornings with a complimentary continental breakfast.
