    Overview

    Mago Island is a volcanic island that lies in the northwest sector of Fiji's northern Lau Group of islands. One of the largest private islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, the island has an area of 22 square kilometres (8.5 sq mi). The island is privately owned by actor and director Mel Gibson. Mago is located 166 miles (267 km) east-northeast of the Fiji capital of Suva and 14 miles (23 km) southwest of the tiny island of Namalata, near Vanua Balavu, where descendants of original Mago inhabitants still reside. Mago Island is relatively undeveloped at present and inhabited only by a few caretakers of Indo-Fijian descent.
