As one of the more concentrated settlements in Tonga, Malapo combines traditional village characteristics with modern community functions, and is one of the windows into Tongan society and culture.
Malapo is located in the interior of the main island of Tonga, surrounded by tropical vegetation and farmland, with a tropical maritime climate. The local people are mostly dependent on agriculture, cultivating taro, coconut and other crops, and retaining the traditional Polynesian community structure and way of life. Typical Tongan wooden houses and churches can be seen in the village.
Malapo continues Tonga's strong cultural traditions, with kava ceremonies and traditional dance performances at important festivals. The local church is central to community life, and Sunday services are a central expression of the importance that Tongans place on their religious beliefs. Ancient island burial sites are scattered around the village, some of which date back to the ancient dynastic period of Tonga.
The economy is based on subsistence farming, with some residents engaged in handicrafts.
