Nukualofa Accommodation
Tonga Islands


The capital of Tonga, Nuku'alofa, lies on the north shore of the Tongatapu with half the islands' population. The town has a dozen or so guest houses as well as the country's largest hotel with 120 rooms. Nuku'alofa Town sits on a meandering isthmus with the downtown area facing north and out onto the lagoon with its tiny offshore coral islands, and the suburbs sprawling along the inner turquoise lagoon to the south. With a population of just 30,000, it is a quiet, functional town with few tourist attractions except for the Royal Palace and a bustling market, a few boutique shops and a couple of good restaurants.





One of the most unique historical attractions in the South Pacific is the Royal Palace which was built in 1867, Tonga being the only remaining Kingdom in the South Pacific. Although not open to the public, you get a good view of the colonial wooden building from the waterfront. If you want to get close to Royalty, attend the Centenary Church on Sunday - this is where the present King worships.
