Muri Beach Resort is an intimate oasis on the stunning Muri Beach, located on the southeast corner of Rarotonga, where the soft sands meet the glistening waters of Muri Lagoon. As you step into the lobby, the harmony of island charm and refined elegance greets you; artisanal artwork adorns the walls, echoing the natural beauty that surrounds this boutique retreat. With just 20 rooms, each designed for comfort and tranquility, Muri Beach Resort offers a true sense of exclusivity. From the spacious sun terrace overlooking the lagoon to Aqua, the poolside restaurant specializing in fresh seafood and Pacific cuisine, every moment here is thoughtfully curated to enchant the senses. Lounge in the elegant ambiance of Aqua's bar with a crafted cocktail, savor the ocean breeze, and indulge in the exquisite view of the tropical islet of Ta'akoka - the cherry on top for a perfectly curated dining experience.

Explore the Local Area

Nestled within close proximity to diverse attractions, Muri Beach Resort places you just minutes away from the vibrancy of Rarotonga's Muri Night Markets and the Beachcomber Pearl Market. Venture a short 5-minute stroll to local eateries and shops or explore the scenic routes to the Takitumu Conservation Area (3.5 km) and the Maire Nui Botanical Gardens (2 km). Whether you crave cultural experiences or outdoor adventures, you can book scuba diving excursions, glass-bottom boat tours, and deep-sea fishing right from the hotel's tour desk. For transportation, Rarotonga International Airport is a reasonable 15 km away, easily accessible via pre-arranged shuttle.

Room Information

Muri Beach Resort boasts 20 air-conditioned accommodations, thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind. Each room features premium bedding, kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops, separate sitting areas, flat-screen TVs, and DVD players - ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. Every room includes a private furnished balcony that invites you to bask in the island's natural beauty.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking an enhanced experience, consider the deluxe self-contained Beachfront Apartment, offering a generous 600 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, complete with a spa bath, outdoor furniture, and an exquisite view of the tropical gardens. Alternatively, opt for one of the larger Villas, which also feature sizable balconies and living areas perfect for entertaining. Both accommodations promise a truly immersive stay with the added luxury of privacy and self-catering options.

“This beachfront resort on Muri Lagoon strikes me as a serene and affordable escape. The self-contained villas, complemented by free water sports equipment, create a relaxing South Pacific experience without pretense. Its eco-friendly practices and convenient location near local attractions seal the deal.”
