Niuatoputapu is probably the most remote holiday destination you'll ever visit. A dot in the middle of the Pacific: part of Tonga yet closer to Samoa. So remote indeed that few Tongans themselves have ever visited. Uncommercialised. Unspoilt. Uncomplicated.

And with just one resort on the island, accommodating a maximum of eight people, the aim is to keep it that way.

So what do you do once you are there? Cycle, fish, snorkel, climb an extinct volcano, whale watch in season, read a book, thrash your partner at scrabble, contemplate your navel and when you've had enough of that well, just relax.
