Destination Profile
Remote Rarotonga is the capital of the Cook Islands. Fringed by groves of stooping coconut palms and lined by dashes of multi-colored coral reefs, it's a Shangri-La in the midst of the South Pacific. That all comes with a side of fascinating Polynesian culture and luxury – overwater bungalows and infinity pools abound in these parts (honeymoon, perhaps?).

There are even airlines that run the route direct, getting you to paradise in just under four hours in total!
