Fiji has been selected as the host for the 2026 Miss Pacific Islands Pageant, a decision announced during the conclusion of the 2025 pageant held in Honiara. This will be a significant event for Fiji, which has opted out of participation in the pageant over the past few years.
In the 2025 edition, Samoa’s Litara Ieremia Alan emerged victorious, securing the title of Miss Pacific Islands 2025. This win is notable as it marks Samoa’s second consecutive victory in the pageant, showcasing the talent and beauty of the contestants from across the Pacific region. The 24-year-old contestant triumphed over seven others, representing American Sāmoa, the Cook Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Tonga.
This decision to host the pageant in Fiji not only presents an opportunity for the country to showcase its culture and hospitality but also aims to bring positive attention to the region. The upcoming pageant will likely foster connections and celebrate the diversity of the Pacific Islands.
In summary, Fiji’s hosting of the 2026 Miss Pacific Islands Pageant, after its recent absence, alongside Samoa’s ongoing success, highlights the beauty and unity present in the Pacific community. It is an exciting development that promises to engage and inspire future participants and audiences alike.
