Rarotonga & Aitutaki, Cook Islands

Rarotonga and Aitutaki are the two jewels of the Cook Islands: one a green volcanic amphitheatre ringed by white sand and a shallow turquoise lagoon, the other a triangle of coral motu enclosing what is regularly called the most beautiful lagoon on earth. Together they deliver barefoot Polynesian luxury - private-pool villas, the South Pacific's quietest overwater bungalows and beaches you often have entirely to yourself - with no crowds, no high-rises and a warm, unhurried Maori island culture.
