Walk to café’s, restaurants, Te Vara Nui Cultural Centre, boutiques and the famous night food markets. It always feels like something is happening with lagoon cruise departures and other water sports operators making this their hub.

On Saturdays the Rarotonga Sailing Club has lagoon races and welcomes visitors. 10 Muri Beach 11 Accommodation / EAST RAROTONGA MAP: J6 Rumours Luxury Villas & Spa HHHHH Location: Rarotonga, Muri Lagoon, south east side of the island, famous for snorkelling, lagoon, with nearby Te Vara Nui Village and night markets.
