We love that looking out of every window at Apartment Honohitu looks like it could be a postcard. 📸

You're getting something you don't often find in Rarotonga: an elevated view so close to the Lagoon, directly across the road!. From here you see the mountains out the back and the garden rolling out to the lagoon in front all in full colour. There's no need to think about which angle to shoot from in this place. They all work.

Sleeps up to 5. The main living area is upstairs, so you'll need to be comfortable with stairs.

👯 Bringing the whole crew? Book Apartment Honohitu alongside Villa Honohitu. It's perfect for larger families or groups who want their own space and still want to be together.

📸New photos of Hidden Palms Three Bedroom Villa just dropped.

We've finally managed to capture just how beautifully styled it is here. This fully self‑contained island retreat is nestled in lush tropical gardens on the peaceful West Coast of Rarotonga.

Your own resort, designed for comfort and ease. Plunge pool out back, room to spread out, king beds throughout set up as super king or twin singles, whatever suits. Perfect for families or groups of friends, sleeps 6 comfortably.

Our guests love the location, close to beaches, cafés, restaurants and local attractions while still offering peace and privacy.

Travelling with a larger group? Explore our Hidden Palms Luxury Four Bedroom Villa for even more space and comfort.

On the west side of Rarotonga, roadside stalls are more than a place to grab fruit, they're a quiet part of island life. Locals grow it, pick it, and some even leave it out on trust, with an honesty box for payment. Go early if you can, as the best of the harvest tends to move quickly, and bring cash to support the growers directly. A small but meaningful way to connect with the island 🌴🥭
