Samoa hotels & Resorts
The capital of Samoa is Apia, a colorful, historic, old South Seas town, on the island of Upolu. This island is the most developed and the most populous of Samoa. The largest island, Savai'i, is the biggest island in all of Polynesia outside of Hawaii and New Zealand. The islands have attracted famous writers over the years, one of the best-known being Robert Louis Stevenson, who spent the latter years of his life in Samoa. The home of Tusitala (The Teller of Tales), called Vailima, is located near Apia and is now a museum, open to visitors. Stevenson and his wife, Fanny, are buried near Vailima, and the gravesite may also be visited. In addition to the Samoan culture, the traveler can also enjoy some of the South Pacific's most undeveloped and beautiful beaches. |
