Accommodation in Wallis (Uvea)

If you're looking for a destination that feels like a well-kept secret, Wallis (also known as Uvea) is simply magical. This hidden gem in the South Pacific is where you can wake up to crystal-clear lagoons and fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves lapping the shore.

The island is divided into three distinct districts: Hihifo in the north, Hahake in the centre, and Mua in the south. Most travellers base themselves in Hahake, where the charming capital Mata'Utu sits and you'll find the majority of accommodations. But don't overlook the other districts. There's a wonderful selection of more secluded stays that offer incredible locations away from it all.

Wallis' main appeal is its pristine lagoon, encircling the island and dotted with around 22 stunning motu (islets). Water taxis can whisk you away to these little slices of paradise, where you can spend your days snorkelling in gin-clear waters, beachcombing for treasures, or learning traditional skills like weaving and husking coconuts from local guides.

The island's fascinating history unfolds before your eyes through some of the most magnificent cathedrals in the South Pacific (the population is almost 100% Catholic) and what's considered the best-preserved Tongan fort anywhere in the world.

From what we've experienced, there's something truly special about staying somewhere with such rich cultural and natural beauty just waiting to be discovered.
