Family Holidays in Samoa

Samoa is a great holiday destination for families with a range of accommodation types to suit all budgets. These include low-cost bungalows to quite luxurious resorts. The Sa'Moana Resort (one of the larger properties) also has a kids club, and offers double-story family fales that can sleep up to five children. Child-minding and baby-sitting can be found at most places.

Why Samoa is a good family destination

• Hotels and resorts are located on two main islands so one doesn't have to fly to outer islands that are expensive and tiring when travelling with children.
• The tropical island lifestyle offers relaxed and warm environment for outdoor fun and activities.
• Enjoy surfing in some areas.
• Soft Adventure opportunities include waterfall visits, hiking and horseriding.
• Samoans are a friendly race of people offering a warm welcome and respect for the family unit.
• Lots of intriguing Samoan customs and traditions to learn about.
• Watch exciting displays of Samoan dance entertainment including the fire dance.
• Snorkelling is fun for the whole family - advise the children NOT to touch the delicate coral reef structures.
• Robert Louis Stevenson, author of the famous children's novels of Treasure Island abd Kidnapped, drew his inspiration from this island paradise and is in fact buried here at Mount Vaea, where there is a museum for you and the children to learn more about his life and times here.
