Samoa

Samoa is more than a beach or island holiday, it’s an experience. It is also a natural treasure, like the black pearls that are sprinkled throughout the Pacific.

Samoa consists of two relatively large islands, Upolu and Savaii and seven smaller islands, covering 2934 square kilometres in total. There is an exclusive marine economic zone covering around 130,000 square kilometres. Upolu, home to Apia and Stevenson’s grave site, is the ‘bustling’ isle while Savaii, the big island reached by ferry, has a different charm that revolves around a rugged, volcanic landscape, scarred by massive lava flows and left with grassed craters, venues for games of kirikiti, Samoa’s version of cricket.
