Discover Rarotonga
The Cook Islands is more than just beautiful beaches — it’s a vibrant island paradise where you can slow down, reconnect with the simple things, and enjoy nature, culture, and adventure at your own pace.
Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas sits right on the white sands of Muri Lagoon, in the heart of Muri Beach. From our eastern coastline location, you’ll wake to spectacular sunrises over the lagoon and be just a 15-minute drive from Avarua, Rarotonga’s main town.
Muri Lagoon
One of the island’s most stunning locations, Muri Lagoon boasts wide stretches of shallow, crystal-clear water perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and exploring. The lagoon is dotted with small uninhabited islets (motu) — easily reached by kayak, paddleboard, or even wading — where you can relax and soak up the sun.
Popular activities include:
- Kite-surfing
- Paddle-boarding
- Lagoon cruises
- Treadle-cats
- Kayaking & snorkelling
- Swimming in warm, calm waters
