Ikurangi Eco Retreat, on the east coast of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands offers a harmonious blend of luxury and sustainability. Picture traditional Polynesian-inspired bungalows, elegantly designed with locally sourced materials such as pine and palm thatch. Each eco-friendly banda is a testament to thoughtful design, with open sitting areas adorned with driftwood furniture, hammocks, and a charming animal motif tracing the floor—a subtle nod to the surrounding wildlife. Composting toilets and hand-pumped showers minimise water usage, while organically-made soaps ensure minimal impact on the fragile coral ecosystem. As night falls, solar-powered lights illuminate the pathways, guiding you to your cosy sleeping quarters. The stylish safari tents at Ikurangi Eco Retreat are surrounded by vibrant tropical gardens. But perhaps the pièce de résistance lies in the panoramic views offered by the makuti side wall, easily lowered with a rope-and-pulley system, allowing you to gaze out at the turquoise seas and starlit skies in perfect harmony with your surroundings. For extra luxury, plump for the Ariki safari tent, with roll top bath and sky views.
