About this property
Taufua Beach Fales sits on Lalomanu Beach in the Aleipata district of southeast Upolu — consistently ranked among the South Pacific's top five beaches. The traditional and enclosed fales line a mile of white sand and reef-protected lagoon known for swimming and snorkelling, and the on-site beachfront restaurant serves bed-and-breakfast plus an à la carte lunch menu of local flavours. Wi-Fi is available at fales for an additional fee, and the team coordinates day-trip booking for nearby attractions (To Sua Ocean Trench, the Aleipata island chain, Sopoaga Falls).

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.

A great set of fales positioned right on the beach, with exceptionally well maintained cabins on the other side of the road. The main reason people should stay here is for the communal breakfasts and dinners! It was an amazing way to meet new people and be served some very delicious food and share stories of the days travels. Great snorkelling and kayaking experiences available right on the beach. Staff were incredibly friendly and the Tuesday fiafia night is an absolute must!

Clean fales on a gorgeous part of the beach. A bit of a party vibe at night, so consider that if you book a fale right on the beach. The oceanview fales across the road are quieter and more removed from that. We also loved their beautiful en suite bathrooms. We stayed in Cabin 7. Our only issue being that the lock on the patio door was broken. 50 wst to rent a towel, but fortunately we had thought to bring our own. Food was great, served family style at long tables, and our hosts were so proud of everything they had to offer.

An old favorite, spectacular scenery always but was disappointed when stayed here recently with my family. A big group of ministers were also there at the same time so 30 to 40 people. At dinner time, the tourists table didn't get much food and people were still hungry afterwards. However the ministers tables were loaded with food while the guests had very little so not a good look. Maybe they brought their own food but still. One of the staff apologized to the table for not getting much food because they had unexpected walk ins before dinner (not smart). The restaurant lights were left on half the night and shined right into the rooms and fales. The boys started sweeping around the fales at 6am, a little early and disturbing while others are still sleeping. Breakfast was supposed to be at 9am but delayed for half an hr. I think 9am is a little late as people would like to get on with their day before the heat. There was an early breaky for a group who left early. Anyhow there's always room for improvement. Thank you Taufua!

We stayed at Taufua Beach Fales as a family of five and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The traditional beach fales were beautiful, spacious, and perfectly situated right on the sand with stunning ocean views, ideal for our kids to play and for the whole family to relax. The food was very good, featuring fresh and flavorful local dishes with plenty of options everyone loved. Service was top notch from start to finish. A special shoutout to a German girl named Lina, who was incredibly helpful and accommodating — she made our stay even better by going out of her way to assist with anything we needed. The only minor issue was during check-in, but that was simply because it was the first day of their transition to a new system, and the team handled it smoothly. The beachfront location was perfect for swimming and soaking in the peaceful Samoan vibe. We highly recommend Taufua Beach Fales for families seeking an authentic, welcoming, and memorable beach stay in Samoa. We’d definitely return!

I unfortunately cannot recommend staying here because of my experience with bed bugs. During my stay in one of the villas, I was bitten extensively and found multiple live bed bugs while packing to leave. I confirmed the identification with photos and a doctor's visit after developing a severe allergic reaction. The bites and the effort required to decontaminate all of my luggage and belongings affected the rest of my trip and continued for weeks afterward. The location is beautiful, but I think future guests should be aware of this experience and inspect their rooms carefully.

Very good location right on the beach here. Lovely stretch of shoreline with waves foaming out the window. The food and accommodation are basic but they do have bottles of decent New Zealand wine for 50 talas.The samosas are mid.
