The Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Cook Islands | Spacifica Travel

When exploring holiday options, it’s hard to resist the lure of the “all-inclusive” package. What’s included in an all-exclusive package can vary from destination to destination, and it’s important to do your research to ensure you’re getting value for money. Better still, let the experts at Spacifica Travel do the work for you!

When you book an all-inclusive package to the Cook Islands with Spacifica, you know from the outset what you can expect when you arrive at your destination. While there might be slight differences between resorts, the team can tailor an unforgettable escape that can include flights, airport transfers, meals and activities.

Here are just a few of the best Cook Islands all-inclusive options to help get your travel plans started!

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

Located on Muri Beach on the west coast of Rarotonga, Crown Beach Resort & Spa overlooks a sheltered lagoon with a private beach that stretches 120m across the foreshore. This adults-only resort offers a variety of accommodation options including one and two-bedroom garden and beachfront villas. Surrounded by two hectares of landscaped, botanical gardens, Crown Beach Resort is perfect for a romantic getaway or quiet escape. Spend your days snorkelling among the fish and coral in the lagoon or relaxing by the waterfall-fed pool – one of the largest on the island. Oceans Restaurant & Bar offers an all-day dining program with breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. Guests can even have meals prepared and delivered to their villas! Oceans menu draws inspiration from across the globe and the waterfront location provides a dining experience to remember.

Little Polynesian

Another adults-only option is the Little Polynesian Resort, also on Muri Beach. Serenity is guaranteed at this award-winning, five-star resort, which has just 14 luxurious beachfront bungalows and garden studios. Accommodation includes all the modern comforts – complimentary Wi-Fi, room service, air conditioning, Nespresso machines and on demand entertainment systems. Enjoy direct access to the beachfront where you can spend the day kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. For something a little less strenuous, indulge in a tropical cocktail overlooking the saltwater infinity pool and lagoon. Spacifica Travel can tailor a Little Polynesian Resort package to include meals at the resort’s own boutique poolside restaurant and bar, where you can enjoy spectacular views over the Titikaveka lagoon. Voted Cook Islands Leading Boutique Hotel by World Travel Awards, the Little Polynesian Resort offers a truly unique, luxury experience.

Manuia Beach Resort

Picture this – golden sunsets over a turquoise lagoon, palm-fringed sandy beaches, tropical gardens surrounding a sparkling infinity pool. All this is just 10 minutes from Rarotonga International Airport at the Manuia Beach Resort, an adults-only Polynesian paradise on the island’s sunset coast. Relax by the beachside pool, overlooking the lagoon and ocean waves beyond. Choose from premium garden suites, two-bedroom apartments, beachfront suite, VIP premium garden suite and VIP beachfront suite – all are airconditioned, have private balconies and Polynesian-inspired decor. Manuia Beach Resort is home to On the Beach Restaurant and Bar, one of Rarotonga’s best beachside venues where you’ll experience authentic Polynesian hospitality, great food and entertainment. Lunch can even be served to your poolside lounge or the beach – all you have to do is sit back and relax.

Pacific Resort Rarotonga

What’s better than a family-friendly resort? A family-friendly resort that offers 4.5-star full service! Pacific Resort Rarotonga on Muri Beach nailed the brief on all-inclusive holiday packages, with a choice of family rooms, garden villas, lagoon view villas and beachfront villas, complimentary Kids Club and tropical breakfast daily. Not to mention free use of paddle boards, kayaks, sun lounges and beach towels. The resort is nestled among over two hectares of tropical gardens and has something for every member of the family.

The Rarotongan Beach Resort

The Cook Islands is the perfect destination for a family holiday, and The Rarotongan Beach Resort – right on Aroa Lagoonarium – is where you can escape the crowds and experience the island’s wonders. Direct access to the Lagoonarium Marine Sanctuary means you can enjoy the best snorkelling on Rarotonga any time you like, and it’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset with a tropical cocktail in hand. Marvel at the marine life from the dining deck and keep an eye out for migrating humpback whales breaching just over the reef. The resort is about 10 minutes from Rarotonga International Airport and Avarua, and has accommodation options to suit families big, small and in between. Packages can include flights, accommodation, buffet breakfast daily and hire of SUPs, kayaks and snorkel gear. Add in the free Moko Kids Club, mini waterpark, playground and Teen Zone, and you’ve got a holiday package like no other.

Sanctuary Rarotonga

Adjacent to The Rarotongan Beach Resort is its boutique sister resort, Sanctuary Rarotonga. You won’t find a kids club here – as the name suggests, this adults-only resort offers an escape for those wanting to relax and recharge. Its idyllic location means the beach and lagoon are yours to enjoy – spend your days discovering the marine life in the Lagoonarium Marine Sanctuary and relaxing poolside with a cool drink and a good book. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can pop over to The Rarotongan Beach Resort and take advantage of its facilities and activities. Back at the Sanctuary, enjoy glorious sunsets from the luxury of the swim-up bar and dine of fine Pacific cuisine at Blue Water Bar & Grill. Sanctuary Rarotonga is just a 10-minute drive from Rarotonga International Airport and Avarua Town, and close to all the island's attractions.

Aitutaki Lagoon Resort

Aitutaki is just a 50-minute flight from Rarotonga and offers a distinctly different Cook Islands experience. Although smaller and more relaxed than Rarotonga, it has several resorts where you can enjoy all-inclusive convenience. Aitutaki Lagoon Resort is the only place in the Cook Islands with overwater bungalows – perfect for a romantic getaway. This adults-only resort provides the best views of Aitutaki’s beautiful lagoon, which is teeming with marine life. Aitutaki Lagoon Resort is also the only private island resort, just a two-minute private ferry ride from the main island. Each bungalow accommodates two people, with steps leading down to the lagoon. After a swim you can rinse off under the outdoor shower on your own private verandah and unwind with the best view in the Cook Islands. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Flying Boat Beach Bar & Grill overlooking the lagoon and experience a Theme Dinner at the HMS Bounty Restaurant & Bar – the options are endless, and the choice is yours.

Pacific Resort Aitutaki

Located on the west coast of Aitutaki, right next to the turquoise lagoon, is Pacific Resort Aitutaki – a beachfront hideaway immersed in over seven hectares of tropical gardens. The resort’s 29 one and two-bedroom beachfront villas are just steps away from the lagoon and feature free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and on-demand entertainment systems. Not that you’ll be spending much time indoors – indulge in a massage at Tiare Spa, hire a bike to explore the island or hit the water in a kayak or canoe. Dining options include casual meals poolside at Black Rock Bar and fine dining at Rapae Bay. Pacific Resort Aitutaki welcomes guests aged 12 and over and is ideal for couples travelling together and families with older children (don’t worry, there’s free Wi-Fi). Spacifica Travel can tailor a package including airfares, accommodation, breakfast daily and more.

Tamanu Beach

The family-owned and operated Tamanu Beach Resort located on the Aitutaki Lagoon offers the best of both worlds – it has two separate wings, one just for adults and the other for families. The resort has 23 bungalows with a choice of lagoon, garden and beachfront views, and all have outdoor showers so you can rinse off in private after a day of snorkelling and stand-up paddle boarding. You can also cool off in two freshwater swimming pools. For an authentic Polynesian experience, don’t miss the Sunday Night Barbecue with tropical delicacies and live music, and Island Night every Thursday featuring traditional dancing, singing, fire dancing and an island feast.
