Tying the Knot in Samoa

Tying the Knot in Samoa

So many honeymoon places call themselves “paradise” – only one meets all your expectations… Samoa!

Located in the South Pacific, the authentic and unspoilt Polynesian islands of Samoa feature powder-soft beaches, warm tropical seas and fascinating coral reefs full of marine life, plus wildlife, waterfalls and lagoons. Adventure or relaxation – spas, pampering, sunbathing, hiking, cycling kayaking and snorkelling… have a little or a lot of whatever your heart desires!

Make Samoa your single honeymoon destination, or even better twin your visit with a trip to Australia, New Zealand – Samoa is just a short flight away! Why go where everyone else goes… if your honeymoon is a trip of a lifetime, then you have just arrived!

Pick Your Dream Location

Samoa’s ten islands are fascinating to explore and a stay on either the main island of Upolu or twinned with sister island Savaii allows you to soak up the local culture, and experience what the locals call the ‘Fa’a Samoa’ meaning the Samoan way of life.

For an idyllic stay, arrive into the airport on the main island of Upolu and within just a forty minute transfer to the stunning south coast winding through the lush interior and coastal villages you will reach your honeymoon hideaway.  Pick one of these boutique retreats for your honeymoon paradise:

Coconuts Beach Club

Stay in Samoa’s only over-the-water fales and enjoy the panaramic views of the one of the South Pacific’s most stunning coasts.

Samoa offers spectacular day tours, from an island tour visiting ocean trenches, waterfalls and lagoons to an afternoon tour of the capital town Apia, a hive of local activity with great markets, historic monuments and waterfront bars and restaurants for an afternoon sundowner. If you want to explore the wilder sister island of Savaii it is just a 15 minute flight or ninety minute ferry. Savai’i is even more unspoiled with rugged landscape, jaw-dropping volcano craters, lava fields and ancient mounds. For an overnight stay try the boutique Le Lagoto Resort or maybe try a ‘sleep under the stars’ experience in a traditional beach fale and hear the waves lapping against the shore.
