Upolu Island

After a day spent in the Samoan sun, nothing beats a refreshing cocktail at Saletoga Sands’ swim up pool bar before enjoying a delicious meal at the resort’s restaurant while gazing at the breathtaking sea views. Relaxed and modern, Saletoga Sands Resort & Spa is one of the best beach resorts in Samoa.
2. Sheraton Samoa Beach Resort
Located on the western coast of the Island of Upolu, just a 5-minute drive from Samoa’s Faleolo International Airport, this tropical paradise settled by turquoise waters is a great base for a Samoa holiday. At Sheraton Samoa Beach Resort your choices are endless! This luxury beachfront accommodation, set in 224 acres of tropical gardens, offers amazing spa treatments, tennis, golf, a lagoon pool, kid’s club, a well-equipped fitness center and unparalleled access to world-class kayaking, snorkelling and paddle boarding.

The Sheraton also features many dining options with five restaurants and bars, with amazing views to boot. Each beachfront room offers a private balcony overlooking the lagoon and catches both the sunrise and sunset. All in all, the Sheraton is the ideal accommodation for a relaxing getaway and most definitely another one of the best beach resorts in Samoa.
3. Taumeasina Island Resort
Taumeasina Island Resort is a 360-degree tropical paradise island surrounded by beautiful crystal-clear waters. Situated 5 minutes drive from the capital city, Apia, the resort offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and luscious Upolu mountains. This is the only island resort in Samoa connected to the mainland by a causeway and its luxurious setting is like no other. You can choose to stay in a modern and luxurious Oceanview Room or why not try the fully self-contained Waterfront Villas for an authentic Samoan experience.
Dining options are made easy with three restaurants and two bars. Try Sina's restaurant for fine dining cuisine including traditional Samoan-inspired dishes, or Lapita Restaurant for more of a casual feel including live entertainment every night (we especially recommend the Fia Fia night which is very popular and needs to be booked in advance). In terms of what to do, there is a wide range of activities: snorkelling, kayaking, catamarans, tennis courts, an amazing pool and more.
Plus, there’s an awesome playground for the kids too! And for something a bit different they also offer Samoan cooking classes or diving lessons. Or if you just want to have a relaxing Samoa holiday, book yourself a treatment at the Fofo Spa and Sauna, or just sunbathe on the white sandy beach. For all of these reasons, this Samoa luxury beach resort is one of our favourite resorts in Upolu.
4. Coconut Beach Club Resort and Spa
This unique Samoan oasis offers the facilities of a larger resort while still having an intimate atmosphere. Set in beautiful tropical gardens, Coconut Beach Club Resort and Spa offers amazing views over the lagoon and it is home to the only overwater bungalows in Samoa. These amazingly luxurious over-the-water fales, have a great deck with sun loungers - so once you’re done relaxing, you can step off your private deck and straight into the turquoise waters.
Treat yourself to a massage at Coco Beach Spa which has recently been upgraded and expanded. Or have a swim in the gecko-shaped swimming pool, facing the lagoon, which features a great swim-up bar. And when it comes to food, the beachside restaurant offers some of the island’s most delicious local cuisine. Snorkel and kayak gear are also available to explore the beauty of the lagoon.
