Shopping

There is always plenty to see and do in Niue.

Niue is not designed for retail therapy. There are no malls or cinemas. If you’re not going to miss these, then you’re going to love Niue!

However, supermarkets and stores are located in Alofi and stock a full range of groceries, frozen goods and hardware. Most shops are open from 9am - 4pm, Monday to Friday and Saturdays 7am - 7pm. There are generally one or two stores in some villages around the island that open during early mornings or evenings. Some smaller shops are open on weekends for groceries, and residents in the village will happily direct to you to the nearest shop.
