Ocean Escape Resort & Spa
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Rarotonga with a relaxing stay at the newly opened Ocean Escape Resort & Spa. Discover a tropical Cook Islands paradise of sparkling turquoise waters, densely forested landscapes dotted with jagged volcanic peaks, and pristine beaches. This beachfront, eco-friendly, adults-only oasis (16+) is a haven for sun-soaked days and serenity, perfect for romantic escapes.
Dive into the resort’s expansive, fresh ocean lagoon pool complete with a living coral reef – inhabited by fascinating marine life (the only one of its kind on Rarotonga), relax on your private balcony or step straight onto the beach from the resort and wander along the sandy shores to watch the sunrise or set over the ocean. If you’re lucky, between June and November, you may even catch whales migrating just a short distance from the beach.
Ocean Escape Resort & Spa is located on the lush island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Halfway between Hawaii and Australia, Rarotonga is a tropical paradise filled with plenty of history and unspoiled landscapes, framed by glimmering waters. Diving, snorkelling, whale watching (seasonal) and hiking are just some of the ways you can spend your time here.
Raratonga International Airport (RAR) is a 15-minute drive from the resort. One day of car hire with insurance is included in your package. See the fine print for details.

The Brand-New Resort – Eco-friendly adults-only luxury, perfectly located by the ocean
Halfway between Hawaii and Australia lies Rarotonga, a tropical paradise filled with plenty of history and unspoiled landscapes, framed by glimmering waters. The brand-new Ocean Escape Resort & Spa is the perfect place for you to recharge your batteries and experience life on island time. Here, the only decision you need to make is how long you should spend lazing by the fresh ocean water infinity pool (the only of its kind on the island) – complete with coral and small fish – or whether the day calls for a hike to the island’s majestic volcanic peak or a relaxing sunset stroll along the beach. Maybe your day will be filled searching for the best Polynesian cuisine, catching a cultural show, visiting the Punanga Nui Market or venturing out to the surrounding reefs.
A focus on eco-conscious options is evident throughout the resort, combining sustainability and luxury. All products used are environmentally friendly and have been carefully sourced; solar panels have been installed; and each villa has been designed to make the most of natural cooling, with a clever double-level design. Each of these small steps makes a large impact when it comes to protecting the island.
Local Tips – Snorkel untouched reefs by day and experience traditional music and dancing at night
With so much natural beauty surrounding the Cook Islands, it’s no wonder locals are so happy. Outside the resort, a day trip to Aitutaki is simply unmissable. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a boat trip out to the lagoon and don your snorkel as you swim through one of the world’s largest coral lagoons. Or, explore the tiny, uninhabited tropical islets for a taste of true seclusion. There’s plenty to discover on Rarotonga, one of the largest islands with a striking mountain landscape and pure white beaches. Be sure to visit the 19th-century Christian Church and immerse yourself in the local culture with traditional dances accompanied by drums and delicious fare.
