About Cicia
Cicia is a small inhabited island in Fiji’s Eastern Division, part of the Lau island group in the country’s eastern archipelago. It is a local community island rather than a developed tourist resort and is known for traditional village life and subsistence agriculture.
Shallow reefs, small sandy bays and village shoreline areas are the main visitor attractions; travel is typically by boat and visits are limited by infrequent inter-island connections. The island’s scale and infrastructure mean stays are low-key and community-based rather than resort-style.
The island has long-standing Fijian settlement and customary land ownership, with villages organised under local chiefs and families. Agricultural and fishing livelihoods remain central to daily life on the island.
Cicia sits among the Lau Islands in Fiji’s remote eastern waters. The island is accessed from other Lau islands or larger Fijian islands by small local vessels on scheduled or chartered services.
Best Time to Visit Cicia
