Namu’a Island, one of Samoa’s best-kept secrets, is getting even better. The idyllic retreat off the southeast coast of Upolu is undergoing significant enhancements to elevate guest experiences while maintaining its serene, natural charm.
Director Levasa Ieti Taisia has announced the addition of four new beach fales, bringing the total number of fales on the island to twelve.
“This expansion reflects our dedication to meeting the increasing demand for overnight accommodations from our visitors,” Taisia shared.
Renowned for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life, Namu’a Island is the perfect destination for those looking to escape the crowds and embrace tranquillity. The island’s peaceful environment makes it especially popular among couples, families, and nature lovers seeking privacy in a tropical paradise.
Guests can look forward to snorkelling alongside turtles, kayaking in calm waters, or simply unwinding on the beach while soaking in the breath-taking scenery. For the more adventurous, a scenic mountain walk reveals the island’s diverse ecosystem, where coconut crabs and fruit bats can be spotted. The climb rewards visitors with panoramic views across the wide Pacific horizon.
Getting to Namu’a Island is refreshingly simple. A quick five-minute boat transfer from the main island whisks visitors into a world of natural beauty and relaxation. With equipment rentals for snorkelling and kayaking readily available, it’s easy to fill a stay with both adventure and serenity. Guests are encouraged to unplug from the outside world – there’s no Wi-Fi here, but that’s part of the charm. Instead, you’ll find yourself tuning into the rhythm of island life, from the sound of waves gently lapping at the shore to the spectacular colours of a Samoan sunrise.
As the island expands its accommodation offerings, Taisia and his team are focused on balancing growth with sustainability. The fales are built in harmony with the landscape, blending traditional Samoan architecture with eco-friendly practices. This approach ensures that the island retains its unspoiled character while accommodating more travellers eager to experience its charm.
“We are looking forward to welcoming more guests to Namu’a Island soon and providing them with an unforgettable experience,” Taisia said.
Whether you’re after a peaceful retreat, an adventure in Samoa’s pristine waters, or a chance to reconnect with nature, Namu’a Island is waiting to welcome you. For many, a stay here becomes more than just a holiday – it’s a reminder of the simple beauty of island life, where time slows down and every moment feels like a gift.
