Samoa Tradition Resort

Top choice in Apia


Gorgeous grounds, divine digs and five-star service make this resort an absolute stand-out. Accommodation ranges from spanking new hotel rooms all the way up to massive luxury villas. The restaurant gets rave reviews; the Thursday night fiafias are superbly theatrical and shouldn't be missed. It's not cheap, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more 'resorty' resort in Apia.
