Rotuma Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Rotuma is an island in Fiji. Although it lies approximately 465 km to the north of the Fiji Islands it is a Polynesian outlier with a culture more in common with Tonga and Samoa than Melanesian Fiji. It is a volcanic island of approximately 43 sq. km, with a few, much smaller, surrounding islands. The island has been politically part of Fiji since 1881. Because of their Polynesian appearance and distinctive language, Rotumans now constitute a recognizable minority group within Fiji. Rotuma’s population is 2,000 but far more Rotumans now live abroad (in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Europe) than live on the island.
