The location is perfect for a refreshing dip.

Or, surf the pristine waves at Lalomanu Beach – one of Samoa's biggest tourist attractions. The adventurous can explore the awe-inspiring Alofaaga Blowholes, where powerful geysers propel roaring jets of seawater high into the air, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Samoa's diverse landscape also invites visitors to trek the 500-metre summit of Mount Vaea, where the final resting place of renowned author Robert Louis Stevenson lies.
