About Anaa
Anaa stands out as a distinctive oval-shaped atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago, encompassing a land area of 90 km2 (35 sq mi). The atoll's unique enclosed lagoon, with no navigable passes to the ocean, creates a specialized ecosystem that supports numerous endemic species. Historically, Anaa served as a powerful political center in the Tuamotus during the pre-European contact period. The atoll supports approximately 500 inhabitants who maintain traditional practices while adapting to modern opportunities. The island is renowned for its multiple ancient marae (traditional Polynesian temples) and high-quality copra production. A unique phosphate platform formation characterizes its geological structure, while the enclosed lagoon hosts rich marine biodiversity. The small airport (IATA: AAA) serves as a vital transportation link, connecting the isolated community to the rest of French Polynesia. The atoll's relative isolation has helped preserve both its traditional culture and pristine natural environment, making it an important site for cultural and ecological studies.
