Up to 10 Beachside Rooms can be confirmed as interconnecting at time of booking, which is a real boon for families and family groups holidaying together. Beachside Rooms offer the full range of standard in-room features and services. Beachside Rooms are a great-value option offering full access to The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa’s great range of facilities and amenities.

2-BEDROOM FAMILY SUITE: The 2-Bedroom Family Suite is a compact, great-value option for young families of 2 adults & 2 children wanting separate bedrooms, or up to 3 adults travelling together (no additional charge for 3rd adult).

The bathroom features a bathtub which is a boon for young families. The kitchenette includes a stovetop and microwave plus refrigerator and a cosy dining area. The 2-Bedroom Family Suite has no outdoor verandah, no view nor garden aspect and is fully air-conditioned.

BEACHFRONT ROOM: The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa is Rarotonga’s most absolute beachfront resort, set directly on the island’s best long stretch of secluded beach, Aroa Beach, overlooking the sparkling blue waters of Aroa Lagoon, the Lagoon of Love. The Beachfront Rooms are located on absolute beachfront, enjoying views across the white sandy beach and crystal-clear blue lagoon, as well as beautiful views of the island’s stunning tropical sunsets (The Rarotongan is on the island’s sunshine and sunset coast, on Rarotonga’s stunning southwest shores!). The Beachfront Rooms offer the full range of our standard features and services, and are located in our 300 village at the western end of Aroa Beach. Half of these standard guest rooms are on ground level, the other half are on a second storey. Which one is better depends on whether you prefer direct access to the beach from your verandah, or a vaulted ceiling and views across the beach and lagoon from your upper-storey deck. Whatever the case, if a room with a view is important to you – and what a view! – then one of our Beachfront Rooms is ideal. All Beachfront Rooms are available as interconnecting when requested at time of booking. Larger groups can even have up to 7 in a row!
