About the Cook Islands

Paradise in the South Pacific

The Cook Islands is a self-governing nation in free association with New Zealand, nestled in the heart of the South Pacific. 15 islands spread across 2 million square kilometres of ocean — yet home to only 17,000 people.

Crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, ancient marae, and a culture of extraordinary warmth and manaakitanga (hospitality) make the Cook Islands one of the world's most extraordinary destinations.

What guests are saying

★★★★★

"Booking direct with our villa host made everything so much more personal. We got a welcome basket and tips only a local would know. Will never use Airbnb for Cook Islands again."

"The Aitutaki lagoon tour we booked was incredible. Booking directly meant we could customise the day, and the operator was fantastic. Highly recommend CI Booking."
