Maiao, also rendered as Maiao in languages other than Tahitian, is an island formation located southwest of Moorea and one of the Windward Islands (French: Îles du Vent) in French Polynesia.
==Geography== The island formation consists of one high island with a peak elevation of 154 meters (505') and a low island (or motu) that winds along the base of the high island. The formation encloses two hypersaline lagoons called Roto Iti and Roto Rahi. The island also has a lagoon at its edge. All lagoons are connected through narrow channels. The island is home to 343 people (2022 census).
