Fabulous property to have a relaxing holiday at. Will recommend it to friends without hesitation.

The whole complex was beautifully maintained and spotless. The actual villa was very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The property has stunning views of the sunsets. The owner was welcoming but discreet in his and staff movement around the property. Definitely a place and location we would love to return to.

Jo and Rick have created a space that is not only beautiful but welcoming, peaceful and practical

Serenity Villas in Rarotonga exceeded expectations in every possible way. The location is outstanding, with easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, and the villa itself is stylish, spacious, and exceptionally well-appointed. What truly sets Serenity Villas apart is the remarkable attention to detail. From the moment you arrive, the villa feels like a home rather than a holiday rental. Every conceivable amenity has been thoughtfully provided and then some. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality, near-new appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, electric frying pan, smoothie maker, coffee plungers, and a full range of utensils and storage containers. Everything is meticulously organised, even down to non-stick drawer liners. Practical touches such as reusable shopping bags are also provided, saving guests the need to purchase their own. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, the Bose soundbar provides excellent audio quality, and both bath and beach towels are soft, plush, and of high quality. The laundry and utility area is equally impressive. It is clean, well-organised, and generously stocked with thoughtful extras - sunscreen, reef shoes in various sizes, snorkelling gear, life jackets, books, and board games. A washing machine and laundry powder are also available for guest use, which adds a great deal of convenience for longer stays. The atmosphere throughout the property is by design quiet, and peaceful. For most of our stay, my husband and I felt as though we had the entire resort and even the beach completely to ourselves. One evening, we enjoyed a relaxed barbecue by the pool, which was a highlight. There is also a clear commitment to sustainability, with an emphasis on reuse and minimising waste which is well-executed. In fact Rarotonga is eco-conscious.

Me and my wife spent few days in Rarotonga and Serenity exceeded our expectations. The place is so beautiful, built to give guests a great experience in one of the best spots of the island. We’ve had really good comms from Jo and upon arrival Rick was there for anything we needed and gave us the best tips. We highly recommend Serenity Villas

Attention to detail appreciated, the setting, gardens & views from the beach front villa, special!

The setting here was stunning, beautiful tropical gardens, a tranquil setting, lovely swimming pool and wonderful views from our Beach front villa. Loved the comfy bed, and the outside shower was a treat! We enjoyed drinks on the cape cod deck chairs out the front with the everchanging sunsets. Less windy than Muri Beach where we had stayed several times previously and watching the sunsets with the westerly aspect here was an added bonus. The owners were exceptionally helpful too.

Overall couldn’t be happier about staying at serenity.

The quietness, the location, the room, the private outdoor shower, the pool and the beach location was all just amazing! We had a garden room and the privacy of the deck and outdoor area was so good to tan and just be able to be fully comfortable. As well as Rick who gave the best advice about things to do and restaurants to go to. All the amenities were great with the snorkels and ocean shows so you didn’t have to bring them.

100% bliss in Rarotonga

We absolutely loved our stay at Serenity Villas. Rick, the host, goes above and beyond to ensure that his guests have a wonderful time. It's a perfect mix of assistance when you need it and privacy when you prefer to be left alone. Our beachside villa was gorgeous and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The pool is just great, and with a maximum of only 16 guests we often had it to ourselves. There is also a choice of good restaurants nearby, and it's an easy bus ride into town for supplies. We were so impressed with Serenity Villas and with Rarotonga in general and can't wait to return.

Beautifully presented property with everything you need for a quiet relaxing stay.

Immaculately presented property with nice little touches in kitchen etc that were well thought out and meant have everything needed. Small enough to be very quiet and relaxing, but good amenities, access to Kayaks and snorkelling gear etc. Good communications before and during visit with owners being around as needed but careful not to intrude. Although no restaurant on property - there is a good restaurant next door and other good ones within walking distance and good facilities in the rooms for cooking etc.
