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

  Samoa's accommodation runs the full spectrum — from US$30-a-night 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 resorts in Samoa

  If you want pool, multiple restaurants, an actual spa and a structured kids' programme, you want a resort — and Samoa's resort tier is concentrated on Upolu's south coast plus a handful on Savai'i. Below are the published full-service properties across both islands.

• 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.

  Came here for a fiafia night. Parking is on the side road below it, in the grass. The buffet is by ticket so you have one round to get your food. The seating was really great for watching the show although you can get closer up at the bar seating if you want to see even more. The performance was really great for the cultural dances on Samoa and the Cook Islands. The fire dancing was pretty awesome too. Gotta reserve in advance, maybe day of or day before. Cost of entrance was 75 tala and you have to buy your own drinks.

  12 of us attended the Fiafia night show and what we thought was an all you can eat buffet which it wasn't☹️. You may want to check your guys website. Maybe my partner read it wrong. Other than that the venue is beautiful, food and show was awesome. Along with a great host, Labubu😂 top notch entertainment

  Always a great experience staying here. Best Fia Fia night in Samoa. Their Island Grill Night is also great. The rooms are spacious, large beds and the outdoor shower is stunning. Luna and her team are fantastic. Highly recommend.

  Le Manumea gives you an experience you don’t forget. Set in a peaceful, natural environment, it’s the perfect place to slow down and soak in the true essence of Samoa. But the staff are what make this place shine, always friendly, sincere, and full of heart. The dynamic Cook Island Mother and Daughter duo, the son-in-law and kids run this place so well. It truly reflects the real Polynesian mana, spirit and makes every moment feel special. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and blend beautifully with the surroundings. A decent kitchen that serve lovely meals and a small but vibey bar, perfect for sundowners. It’s frequented by expats and locals who work at international organizations that are within the vicinity. The FiaFia Night and Siva Afi fire show is the best in Apia (every Thursdays with a brilliant Host!). Grill Night on Wednesday’s is a must too, your choice of meat and open salad bar.

  My stay at Le Manumea Hotel was truly unforgettable. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed not as a guest, but as part of a family. The hotel is surrounded by nature and peace, a perfect place to slow down, breathe, and truly experience the soul of Samoa. The atmosphere is calm, authentic, and deeply relaxing, exactly what you hope to find when traveling to these beautiful islands. What made the experience exceptional, though, was the staff. Every single person was kind, genuine, and always smiling. Their warmth, care, and attention made my stay incredibly special. You can truly feel the Samoan spirit here: respect, hospitality, and heartfelt generosity. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings. Waking up here feels peaceful, and every day starts with a sense of gratitude. Thank you to the entire team at Le Manumea Hotel for making my time in Apia so meaningful. I will carry these memories with me, and I truly hope to come back one day. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic, reminding, and soulful stay in Samoa.

  Le Manumea Hotel was honestly the perfect place to stay in Samoa. This beautiful 4-star hotel is set in an incredible location, surrounded by lush green mountains that instantly make you feel relaxed and grounded. It’s close enough to the city center to be super convenient, but far enough to be peaceful and quiet — the ideal spot to truly rest, recharge, and get ready to explore everything Samoa has to offer. The staff are absolutely amazing. So friendly, welcoming, and always available for anything you need. From the moment you arrive, you really feel looked after, and that makes all the difference when you’re traveling. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. And the common areas are exactly what you want on holiday — a lovely restaurant to enjoy great meals and a swimming pool that’s perfect for unwinding after a day of adventures. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, calm, great service, and a stunning natural setting, Le Manumea Hotel has everything you need for an unforgettable stay in Samoa. Highly recommended.
