Lomaloma District, Administrative district in Vanua Balavu island, Fiji

Lomaloma District encompasses nine villages across Vanua Balavu island, featuring thirteen tribes and forty-two clans within its traditional structure.

The district gained prominence when Tui Lau Enele Ma'afu established it as the capital of the Lau Confederacy, making it a central point between Tonga and Viti Levu.

Each village in Lomaloma District maintains detailed tribal records documenting their heritage, with specific chiefly titles assigned to different settlements.

The northern section contains essential facilities including Adi Maopa schools, a hospital, police post, and post office serving the local population.

The district's song 'Lomaloma na toba vakaloloma', created by Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Tui Nayau, represents local musical heritage through generations.
