Mataiva Travel Guide
French Polynesia
Mataiva is a small island community in French Polynesia, with a population of 242. It is a remote Pacific destination rather than a large urban centre, so expect a quiet, lightly developed setting.
Travellers arrive through Mataiva Airport (MVT). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach plans should focus on the island itself and be checked locally. The tropical climate brings warm conditions through the year, with wetter and drier periods.
