In the Cook Islands, blue is a vibrant, uplifting colour that surrounds us in every direction. From the sky to the lagoons and deep ocean waters, blue comes alive in many shades. 🔵🌊🐟 A colour of serenity, adventure, and wonder. Whether you're gazing at the horizon or diving into the crystal-clear lagoon, the blues of the Cook Islands invite you to embrace the beauty around you. 🏝

Here in the Cook Islands, we’re lucky to be among the very last places on the planet to say goodbye to the year. 📆 There’s something truly magical about gathering together, watching the sun set one final time, and counting down those last seconds to midnight on island time ⏰ We wish everyone who is in 2025 already a happy and healthy new year and raise our glasses to everyone who is celebrating the end of this year with us 🥂

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

🎞️ Thank you to all our visitors who keep sharing their Cook Islands moments with us!

What is Christmas in the Cook Islands like? It's a mixture of church services, tropical feasts, vibrant decorations, and community events. Families and friends celebrate with music, dancing, and get-togethers on the beach!💙

From our little paradise, happy holidays!✨

The 15 islands in the Cooks are located in the heart of the Pacific, halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. The Cook Islands is an oasis of freedom with crystal blue waters, white sandy beaches, warm weather all year round and authentic, friendly locals.

We live simply, connected to each other, generous in spirit and close to nature… and we believe everyone deserves to feel free, even if just for a little while to fill their cup again. This is our gift to the world: a feeling of freedom while you’re our guest.
