The Bobonaro district (Portuguese: Distrito Bobonaro) is one of 13 administrative districts within the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste commonly known as East Timor. It is the second most western district on the east half of the island. Bobonaro contains East Timor's fourth largest city, Maliana, which is also the district's capital. As of 2004 it has a population of 13,200, and sits at 9.00°S and 125.22°E. The next two largest cities in the district are Aubá, with 6,700 people; and Lolotoi with a population of 3,800. It had been a popular destination in Timor, due to its mountains and hot springs, but it has suffered much violence in the war for independence.
