https://www.aircalin.com/en/destinations/pacific/travel-wallis-futuna
16,000 km from France lies its overseas collectivity, the islands of Wallis (Uvea) and Futuna (Hoorn). They are situated southeast of Tuvalu, west of Samoa, northeast of Fiji, northwest of Tonga, and southwest of Tokelau. The land area is 142,42 km² (54,99 sq mi), and the population is, as of 2023, 11,151 people. The territory is divided into three kingdoms: Uvea, on Wallis Island, the largest and most populous one; Sigave, on the west of Futuna Island; and Alo, on the eastern part of Futuna Island and the uninhabited Alofi Island. Wallis and Futuna remains an off-the-beaten-path destination, with only about 100 tourists visiting it annually. This means that local nature is still authentic and unspoilt, allowing you to be one of the few who get to experience its out-of-time beauty. The same applies to accommodations that preserve their homely rather than luxurious feel and hospitable people who gladly share their traditions and stories with foreigners. Get acquainted with Wallis and Futuna, the secluded and pristine paradise away from today's bustling world.
