Airbnb options in Samoa have expanded in the last 5 years offering visitors a range of different choices to choose from that suits their needs.

Located in Vailoa just 10 minutes away from Apia is offering 4 spacious, 3 bedroom villas with 3.5 bathrooms and private pools.

Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family, as a small group, or simply looking for a place to reset and work remotely.

It’s the kind of place you can settle into for a weekend… or stay a little longer without missing a beat.

Sundays in Samoa are slow, sacred, and centred around family.

It’s not a day for rushing around and you’ll notice because most places are closed.

But for those looking to step out around the town area of Upolu, whether you’re visiting or just feel like a change of scene - there are a few cafés that quietly open their doors. A place for a post-church coffee, a relaxed brunch, or simply somewhere to sit, talk, and ease into the afternoon.

Save this for your next Sunday.
