Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

On Rarotonga’s west coast, right on Aroa Beach and the Aroa Lagoon — the Lagoon of Love. This adults-only (16+) beachfront boutique resort sits in Arorangi, steps from Puaikura Beach and minutes from local spots like the National Stadium and National Museum. Rarotonga Intl. is roughly 10 km away.

Expect a South Pacific vibe: thatched‑roof Beachfront Suites, rattan-lined walls and black pearl-shell accents. Rooms open to private furnished balconies or patios and come with modern comforts like mini-fridges, tea/coffee facilities and flat-screen TVs. Snorkel with wild turtles right off the shore in the Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve — this is the island’s top snorkelling spot.

Private beach, outdoor pool and Rarotonga’s only swim-up pool bar set the scene. SpaPolynesia LUXE offers massages and body treatments. Active days include a gym, outdoor tennis, snorkel and scuba lessons, SUPs and kayaks — plus a free daily activities program with cultural classes and marine tours. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and complimentary daily tropical breakfast.

Conference centre, meeting room and a 24-hour business centre make this a solid adults-only meeting spot. There’s a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, free self-parking and an airport shuttle available on request (surcharge).

Beachfront Blue Water Grill Pacific serves local Pacific flavors and international dishes with a view. Sip at the swim-up bar or the poolside bar. There are also multiple on-site dining spots and a café, plus access to seaside dining at the adjacent sister resort for more casual options.
