Resorts in Upolu
Sparkling waters, forests and beaches
About Upolu
Although Savaii is the biggest brother of the islands, it is Upolu which has been favoured with magic. The island is literally a treasure trove of activities and ‘wow’ spots. For starters, Upolu has one of the most beautiful beaches in the South Pacific. Swaying palm trees, the entire island ringed with white sand, water so clear you imagine you’re floating in vacuum- it’s heaven on earth!
History and Culture
Historical records indicate that the first Samoan village was established on the island of Upolu around 1,000 BC – leading to the genesis of Fa’a Samoa culture. That is one of the reasons why Samoa and Upolu especially is known as the ‘cradle of Polynesia’. Interestingly, it is said that the island got its name from the first woman to be born on the island – Upolu! Over the centuries, travellers, explorers and missionaries have seen Samoa convert to Christianity with a fervour – over 98% of the population is religious and Sunday means no work.
Things to do
Have a few days set aside for beach hopping, either by car or taxi. Go deep into the forests until you come across secret waterfalls and take a dip. Or discover To Sua Ocean Trench, a hidden sinkhole connected to the ocean via lava tubes – climb down its ladder to take the most magical swim in its crystal-clear waters. The Lalomanu Beach is also an exquisite half-day tour, with perfect white sand beach and shimmering waters. Upolu has all-year fishing and sublime surfing breaks all around – the latter only for experts, though. A village visit will leave travellers entranced at the complexity of the Samoan societal codes and extended family trees! Forests, waterfalls, streams, beaches, beautiful resorts, a plethora of activities and experiences – Upolu has that and more! Just talk to our South Pacific Specialist to know more about all-inclusive Upolu and Samoa holidays.
