Samoa
Imagine the sea breeze ruffling your hair as the sun shines brightly. That's what life is all about in Western Samoa. With palm-fringed, white sand beaches, it's the paradise you've seen in movies.
Stay in an open hut on the beach. Located just meters from the water, you'll fall asleep each night listening to the surf meet the sand.
Be pampered in luxury and style—with a range of world-class hotels and resorts, your every desire will be met. Visit the Saleloga market for tropical fruits, vegetables and local crafts, and then party the night away at one of several tropical bars.
Lush rainforests appear out of misty clouds. Grab a torch, plenty of water and your hiking boots and explore the caves that speckle the islands. Gather your tackle and some refreshments and spend your day fishing the beautiful streams. Slide down a waterfall into a freshwater pool. Enjoy a picnic and a swim in the beautiful blue ocean. Simply enjoy life.
White surf begs you to run along the sand, soaking up the salty water. Head out on a luxury skipper for a day trip around the islands. Or charter a night excursion under the stars. With the stars and moon bathing the ocean with light, you'll find what makes Samoa the original paradise.
