Set in the vast expanse of the sparkling South Pacific Ocean, the islands of Samoa were created as a result of many volcanic eruptions over time, leaving conical landscapes shaded by dense vegetation.
Consisting primarily of two main islands – Upolu and Savaii -, each offers a wealth of tropical splendour, from sun-kissed golden beaches, to shimmering waters teeming with marine-life and framed by a gloriously lush jungle interior.
A holiday in Samoa entices you to ‘do’ as well as ‘relax’ with its beautiful waterfalls, verdant valleys, quaint villages and fascinating national parks, making Samoa the ideal destination for those who consider their tropical paradise to be more than simply spread on the beach.
