Winning the prestigious ‘Best South Pacific & Oceania Luxury Architectural Design Hotel’ at the World Travel Awards says it all about the stunning Te Vakaroa Villas in Rarotonga.
From the moment you arrive, a sense of calm descends, and you know that you’re about to experience something special. This boutique resort features just six air-conditioned villas, each thoughtfully designed to blend luxurious comfort with the natural beauty of its surroundings. The gated villas are set directly on the beachfront of Muri Lagoon.
With everything you require right at your fingertips, you’ll find there’s no need to leave.
Between your villa’s private balcony or patio and the coral beach, warm lagoon waters, and the distant crashing waves of the reef lies a serene, manicured lawn and a heated infinity pool with a jacuzzi. Open the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, and you’re met with breathtaking Pacific views. Whether you lounge with a tropical cocktail or sink into the peaceful ambiance, every moment aches with indulgence.
The Villas
The ground-floor, one-bedroom villas offer private access, complete with a fully equipped kitchen stocked with coffee, tea, and cooking essentials, along with a washing machine and dryer. The bathrooms exude luxury, with complimentary Matakana Botanicals toiletries, while the lounge provides pure linen soft furnishings, a large TV, and a sound system. Some villas feature a romantic four-poster bed, complemented by 100% high-thread-count cotton bedlinen, plush robes, and an outdoor shower (available on request).
The two-bedroom villas, spread across two upper levels, boast spectacular views from the lagoon to the ocean. Each villa includes ensuite bedrooms with the same premium bedlinen and robes, 2.5 bathrooms stocked with Matakana Botanicals toiletries, and a fully equipped kitchen. Guests also enjoy a dedicated laundry area, a dining space for six, and a spacious sitting room with luxurious linen furnishings, a large TV, and a sound system.
Dining and Design
Both the architecture and interior design, created by the renowned Laurence Sumich of Sumich Chaplin, are a testament to understated elegance, seamlessly blending comfort with the resort’s lush, tropical setting.
A daily tropical breakfast of croissants, fresh fruit, and coffee is delivered right to your door. For other meals, enjoy room service from the nearby Sails Restaurant, stroll along the beach to discover waterfront dining, or explore casual cafes, fish shacks, and restaurants just a short walk away.
Must-dos
For those looking for adventure, the options are endless. Step through the gate to the beach and snorkel or kayak in Muri Lagoon. Take a boat trip to explore the vibrant waters, or rent a car on-site to visit local markets, pristine beaches, and the island’s historic township. Feeling extra adventurous? Book a flight to Aitutaki to witness its breathtaking lagoon.
When the day winds down, return to Te Vakaroa’s tranquil oasis. Take a dip in the heated infinity pool, relax in your villa, and let the beauty of the Pacific surround you. With everything you require right at your fingertips, you’ll find there’s no need to leave.
