Workation in Uturoa: the essentials
Uturoa is the main town of Raiatea and the administrative centre of the Leeward Islands, with about 3,700 residents, a harbour and a few streets of shops on the island's north-east shore. Raiatea shares its lagoon with neighbouring Taha'a, and yacht charter companies work from the island. Taputapuatea, the great marae on the south-east coast, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the reason many visitors come. The airport is under 3 km from town, and Papeete lies roughly 190 km to the south-east. Raiatea has few sand beaches, so swimming usually means a boat out to a motu on the reef.
