Holiday In Savaii

Wanna spend you next getaway really getting away? Go on holiday to Savaii Island, Samoa, and trade the busy city for tropical trails, secluded beaches and friendly village vibes.

Whether you’re en route to baller backpacking tours, seaside spelunking or beach day laziness, Savaii holidays have you covered. Oh, and the coastal cuisine is perfect for carbo-loading for you next adventure, so getting packing, mate.

Things to Do in Savaii

You’ll be kicking back on Samoa’s largest island, but remember: there are no official cities or urban areas in sight, so book one of our super easy Savaii car hire options while you’re planning. So meet up with travel buddies or spend your Savaii holiday soaking up some gosh-darn peace and quiet solo-style. To see the best of each unique district, plan to skirt the island—consider a brilliant red skirt in keeping with Samoan traditions. If you wanna be wowed and you happen to enjoy public showers, sidle up to the Alofaaga Blowholes near Cape Auisui on the southwest coast. High tide really brings out the best in this natural splash pad, so set your watch and grab your bathers.

What goes up must come down, especially at Afu Aau Falls on the southeast coast. All that water making you dream of jumping in? Well, take your towel and your togs over to Nuu Black Sand Beach, also on the south coast, because those regular old white beaches are so last week. Up north, rise above sea level at the Falealupo Canopy Walk on the north coast. Wobble through the trees like a monkey and take advantage of the photo op.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Several villages have their own market scene, so wherever you stay, you won’t go hungry…or naked. If you’re on the east side of the island, grab your shopping bags and visit the village of Salelologa, where you’ll find everything from fresh produce to local art. West-siders will fall in love with Falealupo, where you can shop till you drop and catch gorgeous sunset views to reward your dedication to the retail arts. (Yeah, on second thought, put Savaii holiday packages in your bag first to save for the splurge.)

Samoan cuisine is all about the starches. There’s nothing better than fried potatoes…except maybe fried potatoes smothered in coconut sauce. Beside the glorious tuber in its many forms, food in Savaii is light and fresh, from savoury seafood to tropical fruits you can’t get anywhere else. You may have to fight the birds for the high-hanging treats, though.

We would say the nightlife in Savaii is super chill, but the weather happens to be fabulously warm and cosy from dusk to dawn. You won’t find dance clubs and karaoke bars here, but locals and travellers alike can be found sharing stories, passing a drink around a beach bonfire and wishing on shooting stars.
