Avatele, formerly known as Oneonepata Matavaihala, is one of the fourteen villages of Niue. It is located on the southwest coast, with a population of 128 residents as of 2022.
==Geography== Avatele Beach, the village's main sea track, stretches along the coast of Avatele Bay and is the largest and most well-known beach on the island. Although the sand is mostly of the coarse kind it is an important swimming and picnic site for both tourists and residents. Prior to the construction of the Sir Robert Rex Wharf and Hannan International Airport in Alofi, Avatele Beach was the principal landing place for many visitors to the island.
