Cook Islands Travel Guide

Find lazy days dripping with sunshine in the tranquil Cook Islands: 15 sandy freckles in the South Pacific. There are no two ways about it - people come to the Cook Islands for the beaches: pristine, powdery ribbons, lapped by fittingly sparkling waters. For those eager to dive straight in, the Cook Islands' best beaches are at Muri Lagoon and Titikaveka.

Despite covering a vast area, the Cook Islands host a tiny population, and secluded spots are easy to come by. Some islands, such as Rarotonga (where the international airport is situated) and Aitutaki, do feature a number of developed resorts. Mountainous Rarotonga also offers plenty of verdant scenery, should you (unlikely though it is) grow tired of tropical beach paradise.
