Overwater bungalows at
Aitutaki Lagoon Private
Island Resort
Under-the-Radar Eden
The South Pacific islands lure visitors with clear waters teeming with colorful fish to
snorkel amongst, lush jungles to hike through, peaceful lagoons to swim in and
Polynesian spa rituals to indulge in. Bliss.
Traveling to the Cook Islands-a remote
destination of unspoiled natural beauty-is
like traveling back in time. There's not a
Starbucks or high-rise hotel in sight; by law,
no building can be taller than a coconut tree;
there's not a traffic light, even on Raratonga,
the largest member of the 15-island archipelago.
The common greeting to say hello is " kia
orana, " which is literally translated to " may
you live long. "
These peaceful surroundings and the calm,
reef-protected lagoon waters are an ideal setting
for swimming, snorkeling, kite surfing, sailing
and diving. From the shore, humpback whales
are sometimes seen breaching the water's
surface in the distance. The island's rugged,
jungle-covered interior conceals waterfalls and
ancient temple ruins; hire a local to explore.
Afterward, cool off in your private open-air
outdoor shower, set in a tropical garden
courtyard at the eco-friendly beachfront
Nautilus Resort Rarotonga, and maybe a
3 Algae Wrap at Spa Nautilus. Then refuel
with pan-fried, locally caught fish with
pineapple and corn salsa on the patio
by the lagoon. The resort's 17 villas sit
alongside the lagoon, each with its own
saltwater plunge pool.
The island of Aitutaki, covering just
six-and-a-half square miles, has what is
arguably the most beautiful lagoon in the
world. Its shimmering waters reveal layers
of various shades of blues; legend has it
the color blue was invented here. You can
immerse yourself in in the lagoon at the
Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort. When
you rise in the morning in your overwater
bungalow, just tie your sarong and marvel
at the view while breakfasting on local
mangos, passion fruit and papaya.
Get ready to soak up the beauty of the Cook Islands. Visit your local AAA Travel Advisor,
and they will help you plan your perfect vacation.
