            After its rooms were refurbished in October, Rarotonga’s Little Polynesian Resort received a further boost in January when it joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).
            SLH vice president of sales EMEA, Carsten Lima, rates the resort’s location on the shores of Titikaveka Beach as “one of the most beautiful beaches in Rarotonga”.
            He adds: “It’s perfect for clients who like watersports such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing, which are offered to guests free of charge. The hotel is ideal for clients who want a tranquil or romantic getaway as it ensures absolute privacy and has a no-child policy.”
            He recommends booking one of the 10 traditional bungalows, known as ares. Guests can overlook the lagoon from their king-sized bed under towering vaulted ceilings before stepping into a private walled courtyard to enjoy an outdoor shower.
            Book it: Prices start at £605 per are per night, on a B&B basis.

            For small groups or families, suggest one of the 25 two or three-bedroom waterfront villas at the Taumeasina Island Resort. When it opened last July, it became Samoa’s only island resort, situated just outside Apia and linked to the mainland by a causeway. The villas are surrounded by tropical greenery, with private balconies overlooking the lagoon and Upolu mountains. There are also 80 oceanview rooms.
            The Samoa Tourism Authority’s chief executive, Sonja Hunter, describes the resort as “absolutely stunning”, adding: “The design has been sensitive to the environment and reflects the Samoan culture in details throughout the property.”
            In the centre of Apia, Aggie Grey’s Hotel reopened in August as the Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel and Bungalows. The property has retained much of its colonial style but the 175 rooms, suites and bungalows have all been renovated.
            Book it: Prices at the Taumeasina Island Resort start at £130 for an oceanview room on a B&B basis during the low season (October 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018).
