Rarotonga is the heart of the South Pacific and one of the most romantic places on Earth, which is why it is so popular with couples from all over the world looking for a special place to exchange their vows. There are a number of different locations on the island where a couple can choose to tie the knot, but it would be hard to go past a long white sandy beach on the shores of Aroa Lagoon, on Rarotonga's southwest coast. In native Cook Islands Maori the name means the 'Lagoon of Love', and it's easy to see why. Swaying palm trees, turquoise sea lapping the pale sandy shore, turn golden as the sun sets.
The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium offers a variety of wedding packages to suit everyone.
