This was our third visit to Sokala Villas and we can't begin to describe the awesome feeling of "coming home". Lawrence, Susan, Serena, Betty and the whole crew are so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The villas are private, secluded, and safe. They are on a beautiful stretch of Muri Beach with some great restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.... More

We came to Rarotonga after a hectic month touring New Zealand and we needed to relax and unwind. This was the perfect place to do it. We were picked up from the airport in the early hours after our flight from Auckland and transported quickly to Sokala where Laurence met us and showed us to our beach front villa. After... More

If you are looking for a buzzy and lively establishment with bars and music this is not for you. If you would like a complete break in an absolute idyllic situation with your own freshwater pool, with safe lagoon swimming just 1 minute away, with basic amenities/shops/bars/restaurants just 5 minutes walk away and helpful Villa staff always available, you could...

this was our third time at Sokala, as ever utterly fantastic, didn't want to leave, saving our pennies for next time, Laurence and Susan as friendly and helpful as always, could not recommend higher.

Sokala Villas... Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer!! Tucked away on the beautiful lagoon of Muri Beach our private villa had an amazing view of the beach which was just a few steps away. Our own private swimming pool on a beachfront deck with plenty of options for lounging was were we spent most of our time.... More

We went to Sokala Villas to get married after a gruelling 7 months on the other side of the world from each other. We didn't alert Lawrence & Suzanna to our impending nuptials till the day we arrived, and they were amazingly gracious and hugely helpful... we didn't want anything fancy, just us, a celebrant and a beach. Lawrence completely... More

My husband and I stayed at Sokala, along with another couple, each with a separate cottage. Both couples had a pool and large deck, and they had a BBQ. Our cottage had a loft bedroom, which wouldn't be ideal if you can't cope with stairs. The living/dining/kitchen, and bathroom were downstairs. Our friends' cottage was all on one level. All... More

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Sokala Villas during our Cook Islands honeymoon. Our stay here was the absolute highlight! Everything was perfect. We stayed in Villa 1 which is right on the amazing lagoon, we literally took 2 steps from our deck into the crystal clear waters. We LOVED the two story wooden cabin with a comfortable... More

Just a quick note to thank Lawrence & Suz for yet another unforgetable stay at Sokala Villas. This is our 3rd visit to Sokala and as per normal we left there relaxed & with great memories. From the rustic interior, comfy king size bed, massive deck with your own pool to float around in & incredible views of the lagoon... More

My wife and I recently spent 6 days at Sokala Villas and we loved everything about it. The two story cabins are nicely designed with a cozy loft with king size bed upstairs. The kitchenette was very functional and the dining room table was beautiful. the deck was enormous with comfortable lounge chairs and a small pool. The views of... More
