Simplify in Rarotonga

MURI LAGOON, RAROTONGA

AUGUST 30th –  SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2026

Step into the wild beauty of Rarotonga. This intimate retreat invites you to slow down and reconnect deeper to yourself through breath, meditation & gentle movement, guided by the elemental rhythms of the island - land, ocean and sky.
Meet your hosts
Our guesthouse

Muri Lagoon Lodge is a much-loved, down-to-earth home nestled in one of Rarotonga’s most stunning settings. Positioned at the peaceful end of Muri Lagoon, it offers a relaxed and unpretentious place to land — where simplicity, comfort and nature support deep rest and renewal.

Framed by coconut palms and banana trees, the lodge is just moments from the lagoon, reached via a short garden path. Here, warm turquoise waters invite slow exploration, whether floating, snorkelling, or swimming out to the small sandy motus in the lagoon. A place to move softly, breathe deeply and connect with the natural rhythm of the island.
