Cook Islands Luxury Villa Escape Package

Explore the world’s most beautiful beaches on Rarotonga and Aitutaki. On each island, stay in a gorgeous private villa with a private pool and easy beach access. Indulge in pure romance and luxury in the beautiful Cook Islands!

We created this Cook Islands Luxury Villa Escape Package for a couple from San Francisco who wanted a romantic getaway on the beach. They wanted to stay in a private villa in a beach destination where they could experience the local culture. When we told them about the Cook Islands, they decided it was the perfect place for their trip! Cook Islands is home to stunning beaches and lagoons, friendly locals, and luxury resorts. We sent the couple to the islands of Rarotonga and Aitutaki, and they had a fabulous private villa with beach access on each island.

They started their Cook Islands Luxury Villa Escape Package at Rumours Luxury Villas & Spa on the main island of Rarotonga. They had a gorgeous villa with a private garden and pool area—a true oasis of seclusion and tranquility. They had a private deck right on the beach, their own kayaks to use whenever they liked, and a complimentary scooter hire so they could explore the hidden gems of Rarotonga at their own pace. With easy access to local island bars and restaurants, they were able to enjoy some local culture while still enjoying all the luxuries of a beach resort.

Next for their Cook Islands Luxury Villa Escape Package, they flew to the neighboring island of Aitutaki and spent 3 nights at the beautiful Aitutaki Escape resort. They had another spacious private villa right on the beach, complete with private pool. They had easy access to the breathtaking Aitutaki Lagoon, the perfect playground for snorkeling, kayaking, water skiing, stand up paddleboarding, and more. For their last night on the island, we arranged a romantic private dinner in their villa.

At last, it was time to say goodbye to the beautiful Cook Islands. After their week in paradise, they flew back to Rarotonga to catch their return flight home.
