Resort Location
Sunset Resort is situated on the sheltered western “sunset” side of the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Rarotonga is 32km round and the Resort is located just 6kms from the main township of Avarua in the district of Arorangi. The Resort is a short 5 minutes drive from the international airport, and is close to a number of the top restaurants on the island, along with the golf course, shops, activities and sights. Sunset Resort is located on a quiet stretch of palm fringed sandy beach offering guests direct access to the warm tropical waters of the lagoon, which is ideal for snorkelling and swimming throughout the day and in the evening to relax and experience the stunning island sunsets. Our lush gardens with paved pathways to our two saltwater swimming pools, the poolside bar and the on-site restaurant make Sunset Resort a special island getaway.
