The Islander Hotel is a boutique beachfront hotel directly opposite Rarotonga International Airport (2 minute walk across the road) on Rarotonga's north-west coast located at Panama-Nikao Bay with stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean and daily sunsets. Formerly the Aquarius Rarotonga Hotel, the Islander Hotel changed ownership and management on the 1st May 2014 and began a journey of redevelopment, restyling and rebranding to create a unique boutique hotel that captures the bygone era of surfing, maitai's and the beach boys, fused with modern day technology and amenities.
