Kia orana Welcome to our Kia Orana Villas: A peaceful getaway where you can rejuvenate your body and clear your mind. The best places to visit in 2022 have been named by the travel experts at Lonely Planet – and it's the Cook Islands that's number one. All pre-departure RAT or PCR testing requirements have been removed. "Honestly, if I had all the time in the world to use only the best words to describe staying at this place, I would. This place is so convenient for literally everything you can walk to town easily, and most of the best bars and clubs are a stone's throw away. If you want to hike, the Needle is only a 3min drive. Sane, Joe, and the Team make this place feel like home for you. With the floods happening in Auckland and the delayed flights they made sure we were looked after. They have DVDs for everything if you just want to keep cozy. The spa and pool after a hot day out and about was the best thing to come back to as well as the fully air-conditioned rooms. I cannot express how great of a stay it was and how welcome we felt. It was my first trip to Rarotonga and I don’t ever think I’d want to stay or try anywhere else. The kindness you receive from the people here forces you to reflect on yourself, especially if you come from a big city. And the best lesson learned is to smile at people more. These people make the place even better. Meitaki Kia Orana Villas, Ngā mihi nui. p.s. I had left my jumper in the dryer and Sane brought it all the way to me outside the international departure lounge in the pouring rain!!! It’s like being with whānau."
