Ikurangi Eco Retreat

Top choice in Rarotonga


Glamping style comes to Rarotonga at Ikurangi Eco Retreat. Accommodation is either in luxury safari-style tents – each with their own spacious deck and private bathroom – or in well-equipped villas. Luxe highlights include top of the range bed linen, and there's a focus on sustainability – including solar electricity – with the design, construction and management of the property.

The inland location has excellent views of dramatic Mt Ikurangi, and is handily placed around midway between Avarua and Muri. Free use of bicycles for guests and breakfast is included.
