The main town on the island of Uvea in the French overseas territory of Wallis and Futuna is Mata-Utu. The island state is divided into the three main islands: Futuna, Alofi and Wallis, with the Wallis Islands forming a contiguous archipelago with the islands of Uvea. In the east of the island of Uvea is the main town of Mata-Utu, which has a little more than a thousand inhabitants. In front of the island there are coral banks and smaller islands, which attract mainly diving tourists. Due to the airport located to the north, most tourists come to Mata-Utu, the supply center of the islands in the South Pacific.


As Catholics, the people in the French overseas territory are strictly Believers, so that you can discover some interesting churches on islands such as Valais. In the south of Uvea, the church of St. Joseph is the oldest church. Many traditional villages or the crater lake Lalolalo are worth seeing near Mata-Utu on the island. The Laguna of Valais with its offshore islands is ideal for diving and swimming. You can snorkel well here and get to know a wonderful underwater world with the coral reefs. The coral reef around the Valais archipelago is the natural beauty of the island state par excellence. In Matau-Utu you will find the best tourist infrastructure with shops and bars. The small town stretches from the jetty over green hills into the hinterland and is a very tranquil South Sea resort, which is visited by cruise ships.
