Vara's is a unique kind of accommodation on Rarotonga, catering
for budget travellers, backpackers, as well as discerned travellers
seeking privacy in our self-contained units.
We are located right on the famous Muri Beach as well as further up the hill amidst tropical gardens. Our self-contained beach studios are also situated on Muri Beach with views over a turquoise lagoon. Muri Beach is by far the most spectacular coastal section of all Rarotonga. Here the lagoon is at its broadest.
Known for its small, uninhabited islands called "motu" and wide lagoon, Muri Beach is ideal for picnics and all types of water sports including windsurfing, sailing, and kayaking. The motus are easy to reach even by "not so fit" swimmers.
Due to our popularity, reservations are highly recommended. Not only will this ensure your bed, we will also pick you up from any international flight.
Vara's consists of various character buildings in four locations nestled in tropical gardens situated either right on famous Muri Beach, Turangi Beach or on the hill-side offering stunning views of Muri Beach.
We offer private fully self-contained Studios, Bungalows, Cottages and Houses for all family types. Starting from Studio style to one, two, three and four bedroom private houses for small or large families. We provide quality houses at budget prices.
Enjoy a home away from home with family and friends in your very own private house. Prices range according to amount of people and duration of stay.
Family breakfast, lunch and dinner can also be arranged before or after arrival.
