Nestled on the sunset coast of Arorangi, along what is known as the Golden Mile beach, the resort is perfectly positioned to capture Rarotonga’s famous sunsets.
Blending classic Italian architecture with contemporary finishes, the resort is framed by the natural beauty of the South Pacific, offering a refined and immersive island experience.
The resort’s collection of 61 luxury suites has been thoughtfully designed to maximise outlook and privacy, with a selection offering uninterrupted ocean views and absolute beachfront positioning.
Each suite delivers modern luxury with effortless indoor-outdoor living and bespoke amenities.
From the Tranquillity Suites featuring handcrafted Italian stone soaking tubs overlooking the lagoon, to the Sky Pool Suites with private infinity plunge pools and elevated panoramic views, every space is designed as a private sanctuary.
A defining feature of the resort is its impressive 110-metre lagoon-style pool, one of the longest of its kind in the South Pacific, connecting swim-up suites directly to the resort’s bar for a seamless cocktails-in-the-pool experience.
Complementing the suites is a curated collection of dining experiences, including Blu Restaurant, led by chef Pascal Bionaz, showcasing modern fusion cuisine; the relaxed Dolce Café overlooking a striking three-storey waterfall with the lagoon backdrop; and the rooftop Sky Bar and Sky Lounge offering cocktails and tapas with sweeping 360-degree views above the tree line.
Further enhancing the guest experience, the resort will introduce a signature evening water feature, designed to bring together light, movement and music in a unique lagoon-side setting.
From its expansive lagoon-style pool to personalised butler service and thoughtfully curated guest experiences, every detail has been crafted to deliver effortless luxury.
“The opening of The Grand Resort, Rarotonga marks a significant milestone for luxury travel in the Cook Islands,” said Owner Brett Baudinet.
“We are proud to introduce a resort that not only sets a new standard for design and service, but also celebrates the beauty, culture and welcoming spirit of this incredible destination.”
