Kia Orana,

We are so pleased that Palm Grove continues to be one of the most popular midrange accommodation options available on Rarotonga. And for good reason! We have some wonderful amenities on offer and some core philosophies that combine to make Palm Grove a favourite holiday spot for our guests.

Palm Grove has arguably one of the best beaches on the island. A lovely wide white sand beach fronts our spectacular turquoise lagoon, which offers safe swimming, snorkelling, and kayaking for novices as well as advanced swimmers. As we are situated along the southern coast of Rarotonga, the reef is at its furthest from shore, so the lagoon is at its widest and deepest point. This means water sports can be carried out all tides (in some other areas of the island, the lagoon is too shallow at low tide for any water sports). Or if you fancy a nice stroll along the beach, the white sand continues in both direction from Palm Grove for over 10km!

The small and friendly nature of Palm Grove is one of the most popular comments we get from our guests. The laid-back atmosphere of the property allows our guests to relax and truly enjoy the “island time” aspect of their Rarotonga holiday. With just 22 bungalows and an onsite restaurant, guests have a chance to interact with our staff and other guests on a daily basis, getting to know one another by name and forming friendships that last long beyond the actual holiday itself. Our staff are quick to smile and happy to help, to ensure your time at Palm Grove is an enjoyable one.

Palm Grove has accommodation options in studio to three bedroom layout, in garden and beachfront settings. These flexible accommodation options mean we have bungalows available to suit couples, families, or friends travelling together.

We are very focused on value for money for our guests, and we are confident our guests will not be able to find better-priced midrange accommodation on Rarotonga in a small resort setting. In fact, we urge you to compare our prices against our competitors and decide for yourself. However, our excellent pricing (coupled with our great amenities) mean we are very popular and are often sold out. Therefore, we highly encourage our guests to book with us 8-10 months in advance so as not to miss out.
