Samoa

A Polynesian island nation in the South Pacific, where beach fales, waterfalls and lava landscapes make for a pure island holiday.

Samoa lies in the central South Pacific and consists mainly of the islands of Upolu and Savai'i, with its capital, Apia, on Upolu's north coast. The traditional "fa'a Samoa" way of life is well preserved, and visitors can stay in traditional open-sided beach fales. Upolu has the To Sua Ocean Trench, Lalomanu Beach and many waterfalls, while Savai'i has vast lava fields, blowholes and rainforest. The former home of author Robert Louis Stevenson is also a popular attraction. The dry season from May to October is the best time to visit. Faleolo International Airport is in the northwest of Upolu, and ferries run between the two islands.
