Highlights

Trip Highlights

  • Samoa's beautiful beachside resorts and blissfully uncrowded beaches offer the perfect setting for a romantic island honeymoon, a magical highlight of this journey. Samoa remains wonderfully unspoiled and uncrowded, and its beautiful beachside resorts, from intimate boutique retreats to lovely lagoon-side resorts, offer romantic seclusion, beautiful settings and warm, personal Samoan hospitality, often with your own beach fale or bungalow steps from the sand. You can relax together on beautiful, empty beaches, swim and snorkel in warm, clear turquoise lagoons, laze beneath the palms, and enjoy the peace and privacy of a destination where mass tourism has never taken hold.
  • Swimming together in the extraordinary turquoise waters of the To Sua Ocean Trench, one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the Pacific, is a magical highlight of this honeymoon. To Sua, meaning 'giant swimming hole', is a deep, sheer-sided pool of impossibly clear turquoise water sunk into the lush coastal cliffs, reached by a steep wooden ladder and connected to the sea through hidden lava tubes. Swimming together in its cool, clear, turquoise water, surrounded by tropical greenery and cascading vines, framed by the sky above and the sound of the ocean nearby, is a magical.
  • Romantic candlelit dinners by the sea, beneath star-filled skies, and the warm celebration of fa'a Samoa make this honeymoon deeply romantic and memorable. Samoa's beautiful resorts and warm culture offer wonderfully romantic dining, candlelit dinners of fresh reef fish and tropical flavours by the sea, your feet in the sand and the lagoon lapping nearby, private beach dinners arranged just for the two of you, and sunset cocktails as the sky blazes over the ocean. Beneath Samoa's clear, star-filled skies, far from any city lights, the romance is magical. You also experience the warmth and celebration of fa'a Samoa.
  • The magical natural wonders of Samoa, its lush waterfalls, clear cave pools, turquoise lagoons and golden beaches, offer romantic beauty and gentle adventure to share, a highlight of this honeymoon. Beyond the resorts and beaches, Samoa's beautiful natural wonders offer romantic experiences to share. You can swim together beneath lush jungle waterfalls such as the Sopoaga and Afu Aau falls, cascading into clear pools amid rainforest, and in the magical Piula Cave Pool, a crystal-clear freshwater pool in a lava cave; snorkel together over vibrant coral gardens teeming with colourful fish in warm, clear lagoons; and relax on the world-famous golden sands of Lalomanu.
  • A romantic escape to unspoiled Savai'i, the timeless heart of Polynesia, adds a beautiful dimension of authentic island magic to this honeymoon. Crossing to Savai'i, the largest and most unspoiled island in Polynesia, lets you share a taste of the timeless, authentic Pacific together. Here, far from any crowds, you can relax on beautiful, empty beaches where you may have the sand almost to yourselves, swim and snorkel in pristine lagoons, watch the raw spectacle of the Alofaaga blowholes erupting skywards, swim together beneath a jungle waterfall in a clear pool, and experience the profound warmth and timeless traditional life of the island's villages.
  • Above all, this honeymoon offers magical natural beauty, romantic seclusion and heartfelt warmth in the blissfully uncrowded heart of Polynesia, the perfect and unforgettable start to a life together. Samoa is one of the most beautiful, romantic and genuinely warm corners of the Pacific, and, blissfully uncrowded and unspoiled, it offers a honeymoon of magical natural beauty, romantic privacy and heartfelt hospitality far from the crowds. Over eight days you share beautiful beachside resorts, the magical turquoise waters of To Sua, the golden sands of Lalomanu, lush waterfalls and clear lagoons, romantic candlelit dinners by the sea beneath star-filled skies.

Good to Know
  • Visa & entry: Most nationalities receive a free visitor entry permit on arrival in Samoa (commonly 60 days) with a passport valid for at least six months, onward travel and proof of accommodation; requirements can change, so we confirm the exact process for your nationality before travel
  • Currency: The currency is the Samoan Tala (WST); cash is essential outside Apia, as cards are accepted mainly in larger hotels and resorts. Carry Tala for village beach fees, markets, buses and rural areas, and change money or withdraw cash in Apia
  • Best time to visit: The drier season (roughly May to October) is the most popular, with pleasant, less humid weather ideal for touring, beaches and diving; the wetter season (November to April) is hotter and more humid with heavier rain and a cyclone risk, though it is lush, green and quieter
  • Fa'a Samoa & etiquette: Samoa follows fa'a Samoa, the traditional Samoan way, and Sunday is deeply observed with church, rest and family (many businesses close); dress modestly in villages, ask before entering village land or beaches (a small custom fee is often payable), and always follow local customs and your guide's advice
  • Beaches & fees: Many of Samoa's most beautiful beaches are owned by villages, and a small custom fee is charged for access, use of a beach fale (open thatched hut) or facilities; this is normal and supports the village. We include the main fees in your itinerary and advise on others
  • Getting around: The two main islands, Upolu and Savai'i, are linked by a regular car ferry (about 90 minutes) or short flight; touring is by vehicle on generally good coastal roads, with some rougher inland tracks. All transfers and ferry or flight crossings specified are arranged and included
  • Health & sun: No malaria is present in Samoa, but mosquito-borne dengue can occur, so use repellent; the tropical sun is strong, so bring high-factor sunscreen, a hat and reef-safe products for snorkelling. Drink bottled or treated water outside resorts, and ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance
  • Culture & power: Samoans are warm and welcoming; a little Samoan (talofa for hello, fa'afetai for thank you) is appreciated. Tipping is not traditionally expected. Power is 240V with Australian-style type I plugs, so bring an adapter; connectivity is good in Apia and resorts but limited in remote areas
FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Samoa special for a honeymoon?

Samoa combines magical natural beauty, the To Sua trench, golden beaches, lush waterfalls and clear lagoons, with romantic seclusion and genuine, heartfelt warmth, all blissfully uncrowded. Unlike more developed islands, it feels authentic and unspoiled, offering privacy, beauty and warm hospitality. Romantic touches like private beach dinners, a couple's welcome and beautiful beachside resorts make it an idyllic and unforgettable honeymoon in the heart of Polynesia.

Can you arrange special romantic touches?

Absolutely. We can arrange honeymoon welcomes with flowers and champagne, private candlelit beach dinners for two, couple's spa treatments, room decorations, sunset cruises and more, and choose the most romantic beachside resorts to suit your style, from intimate boutique retreats to beautiful lagoon-side resorts. Just let us know your wishes, and we will tailor the honeymoon to make it truly magical and personal.

What meals are included?

Daily breakfast is included, along with any meals named in the itinerary and, at many beach fale and remote stays, dinner (often half or full board where dining options are limited). Samoa's food is fresh and delicious, reef fish, tropical fruit, taro, coconut and the Sunday umu (earth oven) feast, and we advise fully on the meal arrangements for each stage of your trip.

How do I travel between Upolu and Savai'i?

The two main islands are linked by a regular car and passenger ferry, a scenic crossing of about ninety minutes, or by a short flight; the crossing specified in your itinerary is arranged and included. On each island, touring is by private vehicle with your guide on generally good coastal roads, and we handle every transfer and connection.

Do I need a visa for Samoa?

Most nationalities receive a free visitor entry permit on arrival, commonly for sixty days, with a passport valid for at least six months, onward travel and proof of accommodation. Requirements can change, so we confirm the exact, current process for your nationality before travel, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What should I know about Sunday in Samoa?

Sunday is deeply observed in Samoa, with church, rest and family at the heart of the day, and many businesses and villages are quiet or closed. It is a beautiful time to hear the famous Samoan church singing and to relax at your resort; we plan itineraries mindful of Sunday, and it is a lovely window into fa'a Samoa, the Samoan way of life.

When is the best time to visit?

The drier season, roughly May to October, is the most popular, with pleasant, less humid weather ideal for touring, beaches and diving. The wetter season is hotter, greener and quieter, with heavier rain and a cyclone risk. We advise on the best timing for your interests, whether beaches, culture, diving or events.

Can the itinerary be customised?

Absolutely. We can adjust the balance of beaches, culture, waterfalls, diving, surfing and island time across Upolu, Savai'i and Manono, add or extend stays, tailor the pace and comfort level, and shape everything around your interests and budget. Every itinerary is a flexible starting point for your ideal Samoan holiday.
