Shaped and sculpted by the passage of time, explore the unique sight of Black Rock. You'll be left wondering precisely how this natural marvel was formed.

This geological formation is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Arorangi. But Black Rock isn't the area's only drawcard. Aroa Beach, Cook Islands Library and Museum, and Cook Island Christian Church are some other worthwhile sights close by.

Our villa had everything that we needed for our week. The villa itself is incredible! The modern beach styling and large decks on two levels made for a relaxing retreat to listen to the waves lap up in the lagoon. The breakfasts were plentiful and the appliances and outdoor grill were clean and newer. The loungers around the pool and the spa tub made for lazy afternoons when we weren’t exploring the area. The villas are a short walk from the Muri Night Market and have easy access to the local bus. I want to specifically mention the services team that brought us our daily breakfasts and serviced our villa daily. They were friendly, courteous, and made for a wonderful week in Rarotonga. I highly recommend including the Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas in your next vacation to the Cook Islands.
