Featured in our guides

• 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 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.

  Moanalei Villas is a truly special place to experience Samoa. The Signature Villa has stunning views of the coastline and mountains, with floor-to-ceiling windows and an incredible infinity pool. We loved exploring Samoa’s beaches, coastal walks and waterfalls with the help of the wonderful staff and our driver, Lutia. Watching our children swim alongside sea turtles was an unforgettable highlight. Our evenings were spent enjoying drinks and delicious dinners at Tasi Restaurant. The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, and the villa offered the perfect combination of privacy, comfort and beautiful surroundings. A wonderful luxury island escape that gave our family memories we’ll treasure for years. We cannot recommend Moanalei Villas highly enough.

  The service at Moanalei Villas was outstanding from beginning to end. Our driver picked us up at the airport in a clean and comfortable vehicle and was very friendly and accommodating. Our villa was new, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The private pool was clean and easy to enter and exit, and the location was peaceful and quiet. Each morning, the staff delivered a delicious breakfast to our villa, including fresh tropical fruit. The staff also arranged an island tour around our schedule, allowing us to enjoy the sights without ever feeling rushed. We had a driver available every day to take us to restaurants, shops, and sightseeing destinations. We had a fantastic and truly relaxing stay. We highly recommend Moanalei Villas to anyone looking for a peaceful tropical getaway in Samoa with beautiful ocean views and exceptional service.

  The location cannot be faulted. High up in Apaula Heights, not only does it feel cooler but it is much calmer. The quiet at night time is something you don't find elsewhere. The staff are very attentive, happy and helpful. From the breakfast delivery, housekeeping, turn down service and assistance with driving to town or ordering in dinner, or even groceries, it's a service I've never encountered in Samoa. The villas themselves, wow. The high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to match. The tile work in the kitchen and bathrooms. The infinity pool. This is luxury at its finest. But what Moanalei does well is the home comforts. Providing amenities that give you the option to never have to leave the villa, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, the little touches of a replenished mini bar and treats and notes with the turn down service. If you're looking for privacy and luxury and still want to be close to town, this is it.
