Today the island is a tropical paradise surrounded by a vast turquoise lagoon.
Manicured lawns studded with lines of coconut palms are the only
remaining evidence of Tavanipupu’s colourful past.
Bellote tells the story of when he arrived on the island it was overgrown and needed a lot of hard work and elbow grease to reach its current state. Bellote, now in his 80’s, still lives on the island, which has been run by new owners since late 2008.
