Anaa, Nganaa-nui (or Ara-ura) is an atoll in the Tuamotu archipelago, in French Polynesia. The atoll is made up by eleven small barren islands with deeper and more fertile soil than other atolls in the Tuamotus. The lagoon is shallow, without entrance, and formed by three main basins. Although it does not have any navigable entrance, the water of the lagoon renews by several small channels that can be crossed walking. The main village is Tukuhora, also called Anaa, with a total population of 497 according to the 2012 census. The other small villages like Temarie, Otepipi, Mania and Tematahoa were uninhabited according to the census.
