Moana Sands has just finished an extensive refurbishment and upgrade program on their 12 existing Beachfront Superior Rooms with all rooms now featuring new beds, curtains, bedspreads, fittings, paintwork and artwork. We have also added 5 brand new Beachfront Suites on a newly constructed top floor. These offer spacious, contemporary living in a relaxing décor.

The recently renovated 12 Beachfront Superior Rooms and 5 new Beachfront Suites offer fantastic views of the sparkling blue lagoon and the white sand beach is literally just steps from your door. All of our guest rooms and suites are self-contained with a small kitchenette and are air-conditioned for your comfort.

This small, privately owned hotel is located on a pristine marine reserve -- Rarotonga's premier swimming and snorkeling beach near the village of Titikaveka on the stunning south coast of Rarotonga.

Here the soft sand of the 10km beach is so white that you can walk on it without shoes or sandals - even in the heat of the day.  And there is every chance that at 8 am yours will be the first footprints.

Here the lagoon is azure blue, sheltered, deeper, safe, reef protected and teeming with colorful tropical, harmless fish life.  A true snorkeler's dream come true!

The hotel is located absolute beachfront - each of the 12 rooms enjoy the same magical panoramic lagoon view and are a mere 15 steps from the beckoning lagoon.

Our two Villas are also beachfront and located 100 meters along the beach - or along the quiet road - a pleasant stroll to join in the hotel activities - or the choice to stay isolated, relaxed and self contained.

The hotel cafe and bar is for guests only and serves delicious dinners, thrice weekly in a dinner party atmosphere and hearty breakfasts daily.  On those magical tropical nights we tend to eat by candlelight on the beach under the stars or on the hotel lawn.
