Robinson Crusoe couples are in for a treat. With just 15 islands over two million square km of Pacific Ocean, The Cook Islands are exquisitely cast away. Head to Rarotonga for a lush island experience; take a scenic flight to the incredible Aitutaki, and write a postcard home from One Foot Island. Combine with New Zealand if you have time.

Turquoise Holidays says
The Cook Islands is a true once in a lifetime honeymoon destination, offering a complete escape from the rat race as you immerse yourselves in laid back ‘island time’.
With private hideaways, pristine beaches and clear turquoise waters, The Cooks have all the ingredients for an idyllic honeymoon in a stunning, natural and romantic setting.
Rarotonga is the major island of the group and the coast is a haven where you can relax on beautiful white sandy beaches and explore pristine shallow lagoons sealed off by a protective outer reef. It contrasts dramatically with the rugged, virtually untouched, overgrown hills of the interior.
Royale Takitumu Villas in Rarotonga are set amongst 1.3 acres of lush tropical gardens, yet still on the beachfront. Luxuriate in the privacy of your villa, complete with pool, courtyard and your own boardwalk out into the lagoon.
Make sure you visit the tiny paradise island of Aitutaki as well as Rarotonga – the lagoon is breathtaking from the air and even more stunning once you find yourself snorkelling or diving beneath the surface. A 50-minute flight away, Aitutaki is quite simply one of the places to see before you die and one of the most remote spots on the planet. It’s home to traditional Polynesian style bungalows and luxury resorts.
A 12-night two-centre honeymoon in The Cook Islands costs from around £6,000 per couple on a B&B basis, including all flights.
