Known as the "Garden Island," Mauke charms with fertile soil and pristine white-sand beaches. Less traveled, the island reveals hidden caves and refreshing pools in the makatea. With a population under 300, Mauke embraces unity, vibrant events, and unmatched hospitality. Venture to this Southern Group sanctuary for an intimate encounter with nature and warm local charm.
