Vara’s Beach House - Rarotonga, Cook Islands

Info & Description

Vara’s is the only backpackers / budget accommodation set right on the most popular and prime Muri Beach.

Famous for the small islands called “motus” that you can swim, kayak or walk out to, Muri Beach offers the best location for anyone coming to the islands.

The Beach House has a huge beach sun deck with sun chairs and hammocks over stretching the beach under swaying palm trees, with the most picturesque view. There is a Beach Hut that hires out snorkeling gear, kayaks and does fishing tours, spear diving tours as well as hires out one of the cheapest scooters on the island.

Absolutely convenient to everything with shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, bus stop, dive centers, sailing club, car and bike rentals and much more only minutes stroll. We are the largest backpackers / budget accommodation in the whole of the Cook Islands offering rooms to suit everyone’s needs – from those looking for fun and excitement to those wanting peace and quietness.

Vara’s accommodation starts from the beach side of Muri Beach and stretches up on the hillside about 4 – 5 minutes walk from the Beach House with houses, cottages and bungalows set on a private hill with great ocean and village views. We also offer self-catering accommodation for those looking for something more private but still the ability to meet and mingle with others.
