COOK ISLANDS
TRAVEL GUIDE
Introducing Cook Islands
Someone better tell the Maldives to move over, because the Cook Islands are here to vie for the title of the world's most beautiful beach destination. And it's hard to argue with the Cook Islands' claim - just look at the photos of the crystal clear blue water and the white sandy beaches. Sure, getting there is a challenge to be sure, but it also means fewer people to battle for a stretch of sand between your toes. And you may end up finding that leaving is even harder than coming in the first place!
