Your Island Escape
A serene island retreat on the shores of Rarotonga's finest snorkelling lagoon.
Welcome to
Paradise
Nestled in the heart of beautiful Aroa Beach, on Rarotonga's stunning western coast, Aroa Kainga Bungalows offers a relaxed and authentic island escape just moments from one of the island's most spectacular beaches.
Aroa Beach, located on the sheltered sunset side of the island, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and exceptional snorkelling. As part of a protected marine reserve, you'll have the opportunity to swim among colourful tropical fish and, if you're lucky, spot one of the resident sea turtles that frequent these waters.
Our boutique accommodation features two spacious, open-plan bungalows with covered private decking, and a generously sized downstairs apartment with its own private outdoor deck — the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a book, or relax under the stars after a day of island adventures.
