About Rotuma
Rotuma, a volcanic island far north of Fiji's main group, has its own distinct Polynesian language and culture quite different from the rest of the country, with very few outside visitors reaching its shores. Lush hills, white-sand beaches and traditional thatched architecture give it a timeless feel rarely found elsewhere in the Pacific.
