Matamanoa is a small, private island within the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji in the South Pacific. [2] The islands are a part of the Fiji's Western Division.
The island is located 30 km west of Viti Levu (one of the main islands of the Fiji archipelago). Matamanoa can be reached by sea or by helicopter directly from Nadi International Airport. The island has a beach of fine white sand that surrounds it almost entirely—and lush vegetation that covers the hilly interior. The lagoon is not very wide due to the presence of the reef. The island shape suggests that it is a former volcanic cone.
Fiji, officially the Republic of Fiji, is an island country in Melanesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean. It lies about 1,100 nautical miles north-northeast of New Zealand. Fiji consists of an archipelago of more than 330 islands—of which about 110 are permanently inhabited—and more than 500 islets, amounting to a total land area of about 18,300 square kilometres (7,100 sq mi). The most outlying island group is Ono-i-Lau. About 87% of the total population of 924,610 live on the two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts: either in the capital city of Suva; or in smaller urban centres such as Nadi—where tourism is the major local industry; or in Lautoka, where the sugar-cane industry is dominant. The interior of Viti Levu is sparsely inhabited because of its terrain.
Lautoka is the second largest city in Fiji. It is on the west coast of the island of Viti Levu, in the Ba Province of the Western Division. Lying in the heart of Fiji's sugar cane-growing region, the city has come to be known as the Sugar City. Covering an area of 32 square kilometres, it had a population of 71,573 at the 2017 census, the most recent to date.
Beqa is an island in Fiji, an outlier to the main island of Viti Levu, 10 kilometres to the south. The island has a land area of 36 square kilometres and reaches a maximum elevation of 462 metres. Beqa has 9 villages broken into 2 Tikinas or Districts: Sawau and Raviravi.
The Mamanuca Islands of Fiji are a volcanic archipelago lying to the west of Nadi and to the south of the Yasawa Islands. The group, a popular tourist destination, consists of about 20 islands, but about seven of these are covered by the Pacific Ocean at high tide.
Tavarua is an island resort in Fiji. It has an area of 29 acres (120,000 m2). It is close to the main Fijian island, Viti Levu, and is surrounded by a coral reef. It is also known to be shaped, somewhat, like a heart.
Tokoriki is an island within the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji in the South Pacific. It is home to two independent resorts, the privately owned luxury award winning resort Tokoriki Island Resort for honeymooners and couples and nearby is the Marriott Sheraton Resort & Spa. The island has its own reef which has many diving and snorkeling sites.
Mana Island belongs to the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. Mana was used as a tribe name in Survivor: Game Changers.
Niue Hotel was a hotel in Niue, Oceania, the largest on the island. The government-owned hotel was built in 1975 in the hope of stimulating tourism. It was badly damaged in 1990, but was refurbished and expanded. However, it struggled to attract guests and in 2000 was put up for sale and leased for use as a medical school. The buildings were destroyed by a hurricane in 2004.
