3 most beautiful Miss Pacific Islands 2024 candidates

Josie Nicholas represented Papua New Guinea at Miss Pacific Islands 2023 and competed against four other candidates at Gym 1 in Tuanaimato, Apia, Samoa on February 3, 2023. She won the title.

Runner-up to Nicholas was Haylani Pearl Mataupu Kuruppu of Samoa. The second runner-up was Kauhani Meaalofa Teisa Fuimaono of American Samoa.

Miss Pacific Islands 2024

On February 3, 2024, Nicholas will crown her successor at the Sports Complex in Yaren, Nauru. It is the 35th edition of the international beauty pageant in the group of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

A total of seven women are competing for the Miss Pacific Islands 2024 crown. In terms of facial beauty, I believe these are the Top 3 candidates:

#3. Dee-Raya Antonio (Palau)

#2. Rosita Rokobuli (Nauru)

#1. Moemoana Safa’ato’a Schwenke (Samoa)
