The turquoise waters are an irresistible invitation for a dive and a swim in absolute tranquility. Its heart, however, is volcanic, covered with lush forest, where meadows, cultivated areas, villages, and colorful markets emerge. In Rarotonga, there is the airport and basic services.
Aitutaki, narrow, long, and always very green, boasts what is considered one of the most beautiful lagoons on earth, which made headlines already in the 1950s, when Hollywood stars, led by John Wayne and Cary Grant, landed there in luxurious “flying boats,” enjoying magnificent swims. It goes without saying that such beautiful, intact, and primordial environments bring to mind harmony and happiness, and that these islands have become the very ideal of paradise. A paradise to which man has extended a friendly hand by promoting thoughtful tourism development, careful not to upset the balance. The result is low-impact hotels and resorts, built with natural materials, featuring a simple and refined design. Besides being the ideal destination for honeymoons, the Cook Islands offer the possibility to celebrate dream weddings (and anniversaries), legally recognized also in Italy, with enchanting ceremonies set against the backdrop of beaches and forests.
