The Villa has direct access to the the beach and you can enjoy the view of the astonishing Muri Lagoon. Also, the location is perfect to explore the island of Rarotonga and enjoy the Muri Night Market. There is a convenient 24h shop within 2 min walking. Complementary kayaks and bycicles were a plus!

We had a great stay at Muri Serene Villas. The unit was spotlessly clean and felt brand new. While it's not right on the beach, it's only about a 3-minute walk to a lovely private beach area — and being slightly inland makes it much quieter and more private than some of the seaside properties. The surrounding area is local housing, which gives it a more relaxed and lived-in vibe. Everything in the villa worked well — great aircon, strong WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. It’s also worth noting there’s no daily cleaning, but it’s available on request — which suited us fine. This is definitely budget pricing but not budget quality. If you're not expecting resort-style service or sea views and are after a clean, comfortable, and quiet place in a great part of the island, this is an excellent choice.

Location was perfect. Best area on the island. Stunning beach, safe swimming, great snorkelling. The villas are very spacious and solid. I had been worried about noise as shared walls but none at all. Breakfast was delicious and loads to eat. Host/staff attentive but not obtrusive. Very relaxing break.

Everything. Its beautiful. The staff are next level fabulous and so caring helpful and attentive. Friendly but also professional. Papa Tom is so awesome. Reception and check in were also so lovely. We ate in the jalapeño restaurant for dinner and the food and service was amazing. The food at the restaurant is some of the yummiest food ever. The wahu fish in coconut cream and salsa was delicious beautifully cooked tender, fragrant and satisfying. I absolutely love it here and i would feel myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay here again. The setting by the ocean is stunning and the gardens and rooms beautifully appointed. Ive never stayed here before and we had only our last night in rarotonga here but its been a dream come true. I can’t believe ive never stayed here before. Feel really special and cared for. Thank you to your amazing team. At the end of the day it is the staff that make the experience for anyone staying here really amazing. Thank you. I feel very grateful to have been fortunate to stay at club raro. Stunning as the wild ginger and frangipanis that scent the entire complex. Gorgeous

    An absolutely gorgeous spot. Very comfortable villa, wake up and look out at stunning lagoon views. Great to have a BBQ, kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely staff, the villas and grounds are beautifully kept. Very convenient to Wigmores supermarket and easy walk to a couple of nearby eateries. We loved this place so much we ended up having our wedding ceremony on the beach there!

    Only half an hour walk to town. Easy at low tide or along the road. Lovely setting. We could whale watch from the verandah and go snorkelling from the beach. The Fishing Club is 3doors down and great fun on a Friday night with the ukulele band.
