Muri Beach & Lagoon, Rarotonga

Lost Your Ring at Muri Beach?

Rarotonga's Famous Lagoon — Recovery Across Pacific Resort, Te Manava and the Four Motu of Muri.

Muri Beach is Rarotonga's most photographed beach — a long protected lagoon on the island's southeastern coast, sheltered by four small motu (Motu Taakoka, Motu Koromiri, Motu Oneroa, Motu Motutapu) that create a flat, shallow swimming pool with white-sand bottom. The Pacific Resort Rarotonga, Te Manava Luxury Villas & Spa, Muri Beach Club Hotel, and Sails Restaurant anchor the strip, with the famous Saturday Muri Night Market drawing locals and tourists alike. Ring Seekers Muri Beach covers the entire lagoon, the resort strip, and the four motu.
