About the hotel

The glimmering beachfront of this resort – made famous by the 1950s Hollywood classic of the same name – is the stuff of dreams. Let lush palms and white sands whisk you away, all as you enjoy the warm hospitality of this family-owned hideaway, hosted by the same custodians of the land for over 1,000 years.

Onsite eateries cater your stay on Samoa’s south island – a poolside cafe with international favourites and the signature restaurant with fresh local seafood. You’re also invited to cool off with tiki drinks at Rock Pool Bar, housed in a traditional Samoan hut, and relax at the Lomi Wellness Spa or by any of the four pools.

Your stay on Upolu Island includes a two-hour village tour, taking you to all of the filming locations from the 60-year-old movie, sharing insights into old traditions and visiting a local primary school to introduce you to the charm of local life.
