Samoan luxury

The islands of Samoa are beautiful tropical paradises and although Apia has more of a city vibe, its close proximity to the ocean means it still possesses an island appeal. And when you’re staying in paradise, you deserve to enjoy luxury accommodation.

You can splurge on the deluxe features of Tanoa Tusitala Hotel, surrounded by tropical gardens, or spend a little less on a similarly memorable experience at the Hotel Elisa, the beachfront Hotel Millenia, the Insel Fehmarn, the homely Amanaki Hotel and the Manumea Hotel, which sits at the base of a mountain.

Meet and live with the locals

If you’re travelling alone or just want to truly experience the local culture and customs of Samoa, then finding a holiday home is the best option. You can stay under the same roof as other travellers and actual Samoans, enjoying the country while making new friends.   

The Dave Parker Eco Lodge is a unique property positioned on a mountainside, overlooking Apia. From the lodge you can visit waterfalls, caves and natural pools in the surrounding rainforest. Go from forest to beach at the Samoa Marina Hotel, housed in a colonial building and close to the main dining, shopping and social areas of Apia.

No walls no worries

Staying in a beach fale with a palm frond roof and mozzie nets for walls is an experience that few places in the world can provide. They allow you to become completely immersed in beach life, located only metres from the water and with showers under palm trees.

You need to head at least 45 minutes out of the city to find quality beach fale accommodation such as Taufua Beach Fales, Manusina Beach Fales and Vaiula Beach Fales. You’re guaranteed to wake up with the ocean right outside just waiting for you to explore, swim, snorkel, surf or head out on a boat.
