Viti Levu Group

Viti Levu Group

The Viti Levu Group in Fiji consists of the island of Viti Levu and its outliers, including Bau, Beqa, Nukulau, and Vatulele. The group had an aggregate area of 10,453 square kilometers and a population of 574,801 at the 1996 census.

Several archipelagos close to Viti Levu, such as the Lomaiviti and Yasawa islands, could be considered outliers, but are usually classified as archipelagos in their own right.
