A New Blue Lagoon: Cook Islands
In the South Pacific, 400 miles southwest of Tahiti, you’ll find the lesser-known Cook Islands, an ideal playground for snorkeling, kayaking, and motu walking (the local pastime of wading in the shallow waters between islets). Rising from one of these white-sand motu is Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa—which has the island chain’s only overwater bungalows as well as the new Villa Te Arau, a mod-Maori haven with black-pearl-shell inlays, woven-pandanus walls, and a private pool. This is the place to spend days learning to pluck a ukulele or dozing in the double-wide hammock. Doubles from $287, villa from $1,000. —Christine Ciarmello
