15 Unique places to stay in Samoa

Frequently Asked Questions about unique stays in Samoa

  • Which airport should you arrive at in Samoa?

    Most international flights arrive at Faleolo International Airport (APW) on Upolu Island. It's the main airport serving the country.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Samoa, cash or card?

    Cash, particularly Tala (the Samoan currency), is king in Samoa. While some larger hotels and resorts may accept credit cards, smaller businesses and local markets primarily operate on a cash basis. It's advisable to carry sufficient Tala.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Samoa?

    Road conditions vary across the islands. The main roads on Upolu are generally well-maintained, but many smaller roads can be quite rough and winding. Driving habits are often more relaxed than in many other countries; be prepared for unpredictable driving and exercise caution, especially at night.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Samoa?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and contact your embassy or consulate in Apia. They can assist with issuing emergency travel documents to facilitate your return home.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Samoa?

    A week in Samoa could be wonderfully split between Upolu and Savai'i. Spend a few days exploring the vibrant capital Apia and the beaches of Upolu, then take a ferry to Savai'i for a more laid-back experience with its stunning natural landscapes and laid-back atmosphere. Consider staying in areas like Lalomanu on Upolu and exploring the villages on Savai'i.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in Samoa to experience the best of it?

    For a fantastic weekend getaway, base yourself in Apia, Upolu. You can explore the city's markets, museums, and enjoy the nearby beaches. A day trip to a nearby waterfall or exploring the south coast of Upolu would round out a perfect weekend.
  • What festivals in Samoa are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Teuila Festival, held annually in September, is a major cultural event showcasing Samoan traditions through music, dance, and food. It's a great opportunity to experience Samoan culture firsthand.
  • Does Samoa have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    No, Samoa doesn't have Uber or similar ride-hailing apps. Local taxis or renting a car are the most common ways to get around.
