Lano Beach
A calm white-sand bay on the east coast with dense beachside fale accommodation, a short distance from the wharf and ideal for a first night on the island.
Lano lies on Savai'i's east coast, about 25 minutes' drive from the Salelologa wharf. Its wide lagoon is calm, and at low tide the water becomes very shallow. Along the shore are several family-run beach fale, with meals included in the price. In the evenings you can sit around and listen to villagers play guitar and sing, for a relaxed island experience. Nearby east-coast villages such as Falia and Sapapali'i are a short drive away, making Lano a good starting or ending point for touring the island.
