LAGOON BREEZE VILLAS
Our Resort Report

OUR Thoughts on Lagoon Breeze Villas, Aroa, Rarotonga
Unlike many of the smaller mid-range resorts on Rarotonga, Lagoon Breeze Villas happily accept families with children of all ages in all accommodation types; it is also a good choice for singles, couples and honeymooners looking for a small resort in a great location with a good standard of accommodation and services at mid-range prices.

The location is a highlight. At the southern end of Rarotonga’s Arorangi area, you find the Aroa Lagoon and this is where Lagoon Breeze Villas is located. Although the property is immediately across the road from the beautiful little white sand beach at Aroa, in some ways, the division of the resort and the beach, seems to add to the exclusiveness of the place. Guests in the 2 storey Two Bedroom Polynesian Villas enjoy good views of the lagoon and for all guests the beach is only a few steps away. It is literally only a five-minute walk to the Rarotongan Beach Resort and Sanctuary with their several restaurants. Kavera Central with its general store and its local café-style dining is a couple of minutes’ walk in the other direction. A Dive Shop and Coco Putt mini-golf with its café are both close by and the Wigmore Superstore is handy, but probably best accessed by hire motor-scooter, car or on the round-island bus which stops on demand right outside Lagoon Breeze Villas.

Although cooking facilities are included in all units, the complimentary tropical breakfast served daily at Lagoon Breeze’s lovely little outdoor café is a great feature and provides guests with the opportunity to meet and mingle if they wish. We know you will enjoy the Happy Hour (4:30pm to 6:30pm) each evening as the sun sets over the lagoon and the sky over the interior mountains blazes with colour.


Minimum Stay Policy
Lagoon Breeze Villas has a minimum 3-night stay policy for all room types except the 5 Bedroom Deluxe Villa which is minimum 5 night stay.

Your Accommodation Options

We like the layout of these units, as, while they are open-plan studios, the kitchen and bathroom are off to one side, so they don’t impact too much on the sleeping/living area and staying in one of these units, you don’t feel like you’re living in a kitchen!
