Liku is one of the fourteen villages of Niue, located close to the easternmost part of the island.[2] It lies due east of the capital, Alofi, and its population at the 2022 census was 74.[1]
Liku is connected to the capital by a road which traverses the centre of the island. It is also - along with Lakepa, six kilometres to the north and Hakupu, 10 kilometres to the south - one of three villages on the east coast road which connects Vaiea in the south with Mutalau on the north coast. The Liku council also contains Ana, a community northwest of the village centre.
