Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel

This friendly Polynesian resort of 20 beautifully appointed duplex bungalows overlooks a lagoon, reef and the turquoise Pacific Ocean on the west coast of the island. The villas are built of local materials with thatched roofs and tropical interiors, and all have air-conditioning. Fourteen are set in tropical gardens with a double bed and separate single, and six — with queen size beds — overlook the glorious beach. The lovely swimming pool offers a great view across the beach, meaning you can enjoy the ocean wherever you are.

Next to the pool is the restaurant and bar where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner along with some classic Cook Island cocktails. With hammocks strung from the palm trees and the sandy beach extending into the restaurant, Manuia Beach sets the tone for barefoot luxury.
