In recognition of its well-preserved example of a late colonial port town in the Pacific, Levuka was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2013. The town remained inhabited into the 21st century and was recorded as having a population of 1,131 at the 2007 census, serving as the economic hub among Ovalau's settlements.
