Holiday Ayo - The Cook Islands turquoise lagoons, idyllic beaches, mountainous backdrop aligned with beautiful resorts, and accommodation throughout the nation ensure that the island can tailor your tropical getaway to suit your needs and wants.

The main island of the Cooks, Rarotonga, is not only a holiday destination in itself but the gateway to more far-flung isles.

Not that you have to leave its sandy shores. Rarotonga is almost completely encircled by a lagoon, so water-based activities are everywhere (so you better pack your swimsuits).

Aitutaki and its lagoon captivate visitors from that first glimpse out the aircraft window.

Startlingly white swathes of sand contrast with the deep azure of the encircling Pacific Ocean and the remarkable turquoise of its lagoon studded with tiny islets.

Authentic island life flourishes on the three remote volcanic and coral islands of Atiu, Mangaia, and Ma’uke, all less than an hour's flight from Rarotonga.
