Hiva Oa is a small island in the northeast of French Polynesia. It is located in the archipelago of the Marquesas Islands. It is known both for its ancient history – thanks to its important archaeological sites such as the Marae Lipona – and for being the final resting place of the post-impressionist painter Paul Gauguin and the singer-songwriter and actor Jacques Brel.
