 Little Polynesian Resort 

Waves of wonder

A romantic beachfront hideaway where nature blooms and time stands still.

Where nature’s beauty wears the crown, this place looks - and feels - like a little piece of heaven on earth. Nestled on Rarotonga’s stunning south coast, make yourself at home at the foot of the rolling ocean waves and swap life’s hectic hustle and bustle for some long due time in the slow lane. From the shimmer and sparkle of those jaw-dropping ocean vistas to the plushness of your private secluded oasis, the Little Polynesian Resort welcomes you to revel in the authentic wonders of the wild. Leisurely barefoot saunters will ground you in the moment, while lazy mornings on the veranda let you rest and recharge in coastal calm.

Why we love Little Polynesian Resort

  • The views here are completely out of this world, with eye-popping scenery whichever way you turn

  • The bungalows are right on the beachfront, so you can start and end every day with a restful moment on the veranda, overlooking the ocean

  • The Little Polynesian Restaurant serves fresh food in an open-air setting, so you can soak up nature’s beauty while you dine

  • There are plenty of experiences to enjoy if you like to keep your calendar full, but equally, the scenery alone is enough to satisfy your senses

Dining at Little Polynesian is all about kicking back in nature’s beauty. Freshly-prepared al fresco feasts are soundtracked by the curl of the rolling ocean waves, while soothing pool and sea views will calm your whirring mind with every bite. Indulge in a mouthwatering fusion of traditional Polynesian and modern European cuisine, before treating your tastebuds to a tropical dessert and a rich, creamy coffee. There are a bunch of cocktails to try out, too, with a symphony of flavours in every sip.

There’s no shortage of things to see and do here, so whether you’re wanting to recharge your batteries in the spa or you’re raring to get active on the water, you’re well fixed. An afternoon spent kayaking is bound to leave you feeling invigorated, while a few hours in the spa will nourish your body and soul. Choose from an exclusive menu of treatments ranging from muscle-melting massages to perfectly polished manicures and pedicures.
