Adults-only beachfront resort on Rarotonga's sunset coast

Amenities & Experiences

Manuia Beach Resort Rarotonga offers an infinity pool with direct views of the lagoon and barrier reef. Guests have access to complimentary snorkelling equipment and can explore the reef just off the beach. Evening entertainment includes themed dinner nights with BBQ and seafood, plus a fire-dance show every Sunday.

Rooms & Accommodation

The resort has 22 Polynesian-styled rooms set in tropical gardens or directly on the beach. Beach Front Suites offer a private verandah with daybed and an outdoor shower overlooking the lagoon. Premium Garden Suites are tucked at the back of the property for extra quiet, with a large comfortable bed and a ceiling fan.

Dining

The on-site restaurant, On The Beach (OTB), serves authentic Polynesian cuisine on a sand-floored terrace right next to the infinity pool. A daily tropical breakfast is included in the room rate, with fresh fruit, pastries, and make-your-own pancakes. The bar offers happy hour from noon to 6pm, with cocktails starting at $25NZD.

Location & Convenience

Manuia Resort sits on Rarotonga's sheltered sunset coast, a 10-minute ride from Rarotonga International Airport with complimentary transfers both ways. A car rental agency is located directly across the road, and the public bus stops at the resort gate. Snorkelling beaches like A'roa Beach are a 10-minute drive, while the famous Muri Beach is 15 minutes away.

Special Services

The resort offers personalized wedding packages that include a ceremony coordinator, flowers, and a private dinner on the beach.
