Owaraha or Owa Raha is an island in Makira-Ulawa Province, Solomon Islands. This relatively small coral island is 5.6 km long and 4.5 km wide. It is located at the eastern end of Makira, separated from it by a 7.5 km wide strait, and just north of smaller Owariki. The sound between Owaraha and Owariki is only 2.5 km wide. The island has two main villages Gupuna and Nafinotoga. The inhabitants of Owaraha speak the Owa language and share the same culture with the people in Owariki and in the eastern end of Makira Island. The Pagewa and Aiga Tatari clans of Owaraha and other nearby islands claim descent from the refugees from Teonimanu which was washed away.
