Rah or Ra is a small coral islet of 0.5 km2 (0.19 sq mi), located in the Banks group of northern Vanuatu.
There is a massive rock tower on the island, which is a popular hiking spot for locals as well as tourists.
[3] It is named Tavalya in Mwotlap (meaning "the other side of Ra"), and sometimes labelled 'the Rock of Rah' in English.
The islet is known in English, and Bislama, as Rah [ra] (where the letter h does not represent anything in the actual name).
In the islanders' own language Mwotlap, the islet is called Aya [aˈja] (with a locative prefix a-).
