Situated halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, this South Pacific island nation is the product of countless volcanic eruptions. The two main islands, Upolu and Savaii, offer pristine white-sand beaches, national parks and natural wonders such as caves and waterfalls.
Upolu is home to Apia – Samoa’s only city, capital and cultural core. It’s home to Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson’s house and resting place, the former of which now hosts a museum showcasing some of his belongings. An assortment of picturesque hiking spots are found on the island, such as the national parks of Lake Lanoto’o and O Le Pupu-Pui, as well as the waterfalls at Papase'ea Sliding Rocks.
The larger (yet less populated) island of Savaii lacks the city vibe of Upolu, but this series of small villages may feel more authentic to some travellers. Spectacular sights include the Alofaaga Blowholes, where waves shoot hundreds of feet up in the air, or the barren lunar-esque landscape of the Mount Matavanu Lava Fields. Apia provides the best base for stays in Samoa, with a good selection of hotels and apartments. A number of resorts can also be found on Savaii, with most close to the beach.

Loved the location with an incredible beach and the staff were amazing! Genuinely welcoming, friendly and caring. The beach villas are awesome, 10 meters from the ocean, it was spacious and comfortable. The manager and all her colleagues truly make a difference. Loved the Samoan reggae they played in the club :) Thank you and Tofa, Samoa! 🇼🇸

Thank you to Tauese Seaview Hotel 🏨and the wonderful team for a short stay where everything was perfect. From the first smile to the last, the hospitality was amazing. It was great chatting with the owner when he picked me up from the airport, and I truly felt safe arriving late at night.🌺
