Escape to Paradise: Connecting Mind, Body, and Soul in Rarotonga

BETA GROUP SPECIAL. 

Are you ready to escape to a tropical island paradise? Treat your mind, body, and soul with this unique, bespoke glamping experience—island style. Our intimate, women-only retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and connection. Nestled at the stunning boutique Ikurangi Eco Retreat, you'll stay in your own luxury safari tent or Tropical Are (home), under the majestic gaze of Ikurangi Mountain.

Enjoy a laid-back atmosphere where you can reconnect with nature, bond with like-minded women, and explore Rarotonga’s vibrant local culture. From swimming in crystal-clear lagoons and strolling through colorful markets to creating beautiful Ei Katu (flower garlands) and giving back to the community, this retreat is designed to refresh, rejuvenate, and inspire. And when the day winds down, unwind with a cocktail by the pool or choose from a range of optional activities, including an unforgettable night paddleboard session on Muri Lagoon.

Get ready to nourish your soul in the heart of the Cook Islands.
