Welcome

TO THE COOK
ISLANDS.

It is my pleasure as Prime Minister and Minister for
Tourism to introduce this Cook Islands’ guide to
accommodation to all those who may be planning to
visit our shores.

I invite you to read this comprehensive guide because
it aims to provide you with the information you may
need in making the best possible choice about where
to stay.

Please take the time to review the extensive range of
accommodation available as there will be a perfect
match to meet your holiday needs, whether on
Rarotonga or beyond, on Aitutaki or elsewhere in the
Outer Islands. We encourage you to explore these
options widely because as a tourist destination, the
Cook Islands’ experience is one that will engage you,
not separate you.

There is an unmatched harmony between
locals and visitors. We want you to feel
like part of our extended family, even if
only for a short time.

Kia Manuia,

Honourable Henry Puna
Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism
The Cook Islands

Image: Dylan Harrison LOVE A LITTLE PARADISE

T he locals are warm and friendly, the culture is
attractive and engaging, the beaches, lagoons,
mountains and forests are pristine, and there is lots
to do… or nothing to do! It’s up to you how to ‘love a little
paradise’. Importantly, the pace is pleasantly ‘island time!’

Situated in the South Pacific, the Cook Islands is around
four hours flying from Auckland, six hours from Sydney,
nine and a half hours from Los Angeles, and two and a half
hours from Tahiti.

CYour choice of accommodation
hoose from packaged Hotels & Resorts, or more
personal Luxury Villas and Self-Catering homes and
apartments, or maybe Backpackers and Budget
establishments. There is a wonderful variety available,
particularly in Rarotonga and Aitutaki.

This symbol on a listing is your assurance
of service and hospitality from members of
the Cook Islands Tourism Accreditation and
Quality Assurance Program.
The most comprehensive and up-to-date
collection of ‘accredited’ accommodation
in the Cook Islands can be found on
the website of the Cook Islands Tourism Corporation
cookislands.travel in the Accommodation section.

The Mana Tiaki Eco-Certification symbol on
an accommodation listing means that
property is committed to creating a more
sustainable tourism industry through a set
of standards established to embed
biodiversity considerations and basic
conservation efforts into their operations.

The following pages are colour coded, indicating the
different island destinations.
