Cook Islands Romance

Although they appear to be just a speck on the map, the fifteen Cook Islands, which lie between Tahiti and Fiji, are spread across more than a million square miles in the South Pacific.

If you've dreamed of escaping to a pristine place far from urban civilization for a destination wedding or honeymoon, the family-friendly Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa in the Cook Islands in the South Pacific Ocean may be ideal.

Looking for something even more remote and romantic? How about an overwater bungalow at the Aitutaki Lagoon Resort and Spa (below)?

Write Jane Cassie and her photographer husband Brent visited the Cook Islands recently and tell you what it's like to have a destination wedding, honeymoon, or utterly blissful romantic getaway in this magical place.
