Matafonua Lodge

Ha'apai Tonga

Ha'apai is the way the South Pacific used to be… the peace and tranquillity of deserted beaches, bush trails and uninhabited islands to explore, world-class snorkelling and dive sites, whale encounters, and some of the best swimming beaches in the South Pacific. Matafonua is located on the quiet northern peninsula of Foa Island, only a short flight from the mainland.

With its white sand beaches, warm climate and picture perfect lagoon, Matafonua Lodge is the ultimate Pacific holiday destination.

Ten Tongan-style bungalows line this beachfront resort.

With its laid-back atmosphere and delicious food, Matafonua is the perfect place for someone who wants a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of busier islands.

Relax in a hammock with a book. Stare at the blue lagoon and feel the trade winds blow over you from the comfort of the day bed.

For the thrill seeker, we offer whale encounters, diving, free-diving, snorkeling, kite boarding, game fishing and horse riding.

Matafonua has its own PADI Scuba Diving Centre onsite, with dive trips leaving for near by reefs daily.

During the months of July to October, Matafonua runs whale watching and swimming trips. The awe of swimming with these graceful creatures will be something you'll never forget.
