Our Story
The Ultimate Cook Island Accomodation
Delivering a wonderful and unique experience with memories to last you a lifetime
Sea Change Villas is an intimate upscale property that was started in 2003 with three Beachfront Villas. The vision was to create a private and upmarket alternative to the more conventional hotel style accommodation in Rarotonga.
Sea Change Villas today consists of 15 boutique villas, all boasting their own individual private swimming pools, lagoon and garden views, and tropical surroundings.
Our business vision at Sea Change Villas is to provide an unparalleled 'Cook Islands Experience' for our guests through a combination of high-quality, beautifully appointed villas and exceptional personalised customer service. Our goal is to become the preferred choice for visitors seeking a unique and unforgettable vacation in the Cook Islands.
Our team look forward to hosting you in our little piece of paradise where you will experience the beauty, friendliness, and island-time pace of life that we believe makes the Cook Islands a truly unique and wonderful holiday destination.
