Beach Fales 
Make an Enquiry

Complete your Samoan holiday experience by staying in one of the many traditional thatched open-sided fales that dot the coastline.

These fales are mostly on village land and are usually family operated, ensuring a warm welcome and friendly service. Fales give a whole new meaning to the term beachfront. They are scattered all around the coast of the two main islands, Upolu and Savai’i, and can even be found on uninhabited Namua, consequently they enjoy some of Samoa’s most scenic vistas.

What better way to end an enjoyable day’s sightseeing than by letting the gentle lapping of waves lull you to sleep while you breathe in a balmy breeze scented by the many flowers that surround Samoa. At Taufua Beach on Upolu you can enjoy authentic Samoan hospitality and while beach fales are back-to-basics accommodation, any lack of modern amenities is more than compensated for by the chance to live like a local amid some million-dollar scenery.
