EXCLUSIVE: 5 nights of barefoot luxury in Samoa

Day 1: Fly into Apia and get a warm Samoan welcome as you climb aboard the complimentary coach service to the resort. It’s approximately 45 minutes away from Faleolo airport and the views around the island are simply exquisite. Check into your suite and relax in the expansive lava-rock bathtub – you deserve it!

During the next five days, take your time and soak in the Samoan good life – splash about in clear, warm waters, snorkel to your heart’s content, go for tours and activities (we’ve included free massages for two in the resort’s excellent spa!) and wind down the day with great meals at the resort’s in-house restaurant. Need a recommendation? Explore the town of Apia, the bus is pretty good and we’ve included free tickets from Monday to Saturday. From museums, cafes, markets and restaurants – it’s a delightful smorgasbord of culture, cuisine and excitement.

Day 6: After checking out of the hotel, make your way to the international airport with the friendly airport transfers. Have a safe flight and we hope to see you again very soon!

The Samoa Travel Guide – When to Visit & What to Do

Samoa, also known as the ‘Treasured Islands’, is an unapologetically unrefined archipelago located in the South Pacific. Like a treasure, Samoa boasts unparalleled natural riches ready for you to discover.

Comprised of two islands, Apia and Savai’i, Samoa has an incredibly unique landscape: rugged mountains birthed by volcanic eruptions, thick tropical rainforests, crystal-clear coral reefs and iridescent cerulean seas.

With such rampant natural beauty, Samoa doesn’t need to rely on five-star resorts and flashy tourist attractions to get attention. This humble, unpolished place stretches beyond all-you-can-eat buffets and delivers so much more.  

Samoa has an enduring ancient culture and the locals have managed to retain their 3,000-year-old way of life: Fa’a Samoa, or ‘the Samoan way’. A calmness permeates the islands. Here, life is slow and you just can't help but feel relaxed.

So, if want to unplug and gorge on some unprecedented natural beauty, Samoa is the spot for you. We’ve put together the ultimate Samoa travel guide to help get you started.
