Ocean Front Villas open out onto a<br />

private deck, white sandy beach and<br />

uninterrupted views to the horizon<br />

Ocean View, two-story Villas are spacious and<br />

beautifully decorated, incorporating modern<br />

living and keeping he fresh ocean feel alive.<br />

While biking round the island we<br />

discovered Ocean Escape Resort & Spa,<br />

so we popped in and booked an afternoon<br />

massage for the following day.<br />

The new Eco-resort had come highly<br />

recommended from some locals, so<br />

we booked in for their 75-minute pure<br />

indulgence massage. One of the things<br />

that contributes to their unique massage<br />

experience is the use of bespoke100%<br />

Organic Essential Oils menu, the expertise<br />

of the therapists, but, also the environment,<br />

and Ocean Escape Resort & Spa scored<br />

highly on all fronts.<br />

As one of Rarotonga’s top spas, they<br />

offer a full range of pampering packages,<br />

which is outlined on their website,<br />

includes massages, facials, pedicure, and<br />

manicures.<br />

Ocean Escape Resort boasts a unique<br />

Ocean water swimming pool, with a<br />

coral reef (the only one of its kind on<br />

Rarotonga) This pool is replenished daily<br />

from the ocean tides, and it is chlorine and<br />

chemical-free, just like the ocean.<br />

The eco-friendly experience is at the core<br />

of the resort, from the sanitation and solar<br />

power to grey water keeping the gardens<br />

green. Even the drinking rainwater is safe<br />

and beautiful to drink, unlike much of<br />

Rarotonga.<br />

A phrase you will often hear linked to the<br />

resort is ‘sustainability and luxury all rolled<br />

into one.’ As the name suggests, Ocean<br />

Escape Resort & Spa is right on the beach<br />

and everything about the resort reflects<br />

that, from the colours, the 12 villas and<br />

resort stylish layout.<br />

Each Villa has its own private balcony with<br />

a day bed, either stepping directly into the<br />

saltwater pool or the coastal beach.<br />

You can sleep to the sound of breaking<br />

waves and in season you can closely<br />

watch humpback whales migrating just<br />

a short distance from the sandy casual<br />

beach lounge area.<br />

Not far away is the renowned Muri Beach,<br />

where you can snorkel over the pristine<br />

coral reefs and interact with the marine life.<br />

Or you can explore the densely forested<br />

landscapes dotted with volcanic peaks.<br />

This eco-friendly, adults-only oasis (16+)<br />

is a haven for sun-soaked days, serenity,<br />

and is perfect for couples seeking a<br />

boutique getaway escape.<br />

BJ’s Tapas Bar will be opening soon,<br />

presenting another first in Rarotonga,<br />

bringing a top shelf cocktail bar,<br />

complemented by dishes with a fusion<br />

of local and Mediterranean Tapas style<br />

cuisine.<br />
