• Best stays in Samoa: where to sleep across Upolu and Savai'i

  Samoa's accommodation runs the full spectrum — from family-run beach fales where you sleep open-air to the lagoon, through family-run boutique hotels in Apia, all the way to five-star resorts with overwater bungalows. Picking the right one depends entirely on what you're after: barefoot authenticity, restaurant variety, or a swim-up bar.

• Best stays in Upolu, Samoa

  Upolu is where most Samoa trips start. Faleolo International Airport, the capital Apia, and the bulk of the country's resort-tier accommodation all sit here. The south coast (Lalomanu, Lotofaga, Siumu) is the postcard side; the north has Apia and the working harbour.

• Best beach fales in Samoa: traditional open-air stays

  The beach fale (pronounced FAH-leh) is Samoa's signature stay — a traditional thatched-roof hut, open to the ocean breeze, on the sand. You sleep on a mattress with a mosquito net, the family runs the kitchen, and dinner is whatever was caught that day. It's the cheapest and most authentic way to stay in Samoa.

• Best beaches in Samoa

  Samoa's beaches are the kind that consistently top "world's best" lists and somehow stay uncrowded. Most are on customary land — you'll pay a small village fee (typically WST 5–20) at the gate, which goes back into maintaining the site. Below: the ones our travellers come back about.

• Kitesurfing in Samoa: lessons, rentals and where to base yourself

  Samoa is not a famous kite destination, which is part of the appeal: one dedicated school, uncrowded water and lessons in English, French or Spanish. Seki Kitesurf at Sataoa, on the south coast of Upolu, is the country's only kiteboarding lessons and rental centre, run by an IKO-certified instructor.

  Let’s start with the rooms. They are great!! 2 King size beds. Large bedroom/living space. Huge bathroom with shampoo and conditioner. Kitchenette with toaster, kettle, coffee and sugar sachets. No tea sachets and we were given these on request. 2 bottles of complimentary water. Fabulous large balcony on the water looking back towards Upolu. 2 minute drive from the ferry. So overall luxurious accommodation. Breakfast was very ordinary. A slice of spam. 2 fried eggs. Canned spaghetti. 2 pieces of toast. Also came with the local chocolate porridge which was yummy. But if you are looking for a dinner place, your choices are limited and not great quality. So it’s not really a place to stay for more than one night.

  We loved our long weekend stay here! So peaceful, private and with all the luxuries of a resort without the crowds — aircon, room fans, even a microwave, a large bathroom and super comfy furniture, bottled water, but with the most amazing views and large balcony to enjoy it from or from your bed. Fantastic location, right in town and close to the wharf, with shops nearby but you don’t hear anything from villa. Breakfast is delivered to your villa at the time you choose, and helpful staff always check into see if you need anything else on delivery. Harbourside Cafe is across the road and they deliver direct to your villa, with cash payment and receipt on delivery so we loved the convenience as part of our relaxing break. Our top 5 picks: mojito, strawberry daiquiris, pasta, pizza, and curry. We will definitely be back to Kuki’s!

  Beautiful roomy bungalows right on the water! Staff was amazing! We had a 6am ferry (terminal is less than a minute drive) and since it was too early for breakfast , the night before, they brought us a feast of croissants, boiled eggs and fruits to take with us! Great room and wonderful people!

  Absolutely fantastic! The villas are spacious with amazing views and are right on the water. A short walk from the Savai'i ferry terminal with a great café across the road for all meals. Highly recommended.

  Beautiful location and accommodation, as shown in pictures. Quiet, can’t hear noise from road. Service is warm and kind. Although hoped that daily basic service is done at this price tag. Microwave, kettle, fridge and coffee in room. Well set out.
