Stevenson's at Manase

Savai'i


This is the most upmarket place in Manase, with accommodation ranging from enormous, super-modern suites and posh beach villas to boutique fale, complete with fridges and cool stone ensuites. Its popular outdoor bar overlooks a glorious beach, while across the road, its Tusitala Restaurant (mains ST28 to ST55) does the usual mix of international classics with a sprinkling of Samoan samples.
