Marutea Atoll (Marutea Sud), also known as Marutea-i-runga, and Nuku-nui, is an atoll of the Tuamotu group in French Polynesia. Marutea Atoll is irregular in shape and bound by reef broken by passes into the 112 km2 lagoon. Its islands are low and flat and the main village, Auorotini, is located at the northern end of the atoll. Marutea has no permanent population, but it is occasionally visited by islanders looking for pearls and maintaining the pearl farms. (The 2012 census reported 111 inhabitants.) A private airfield was built in 1993.
