Namu’a is only a short boat ride from Mutiatele, but once you’re on this tiny private island, Upolu seems light years away (though it’s clearly visible across the strait). Fale are open, basic and right on the beach – there’s no electricity so everything is lit by oil lamps at night. Meals are mostly local style: simple yet delicious.
It's a perfect place for lounging and languid swims; the more active can do a circumnavigation of the shoreline (low tide only), clamber up the steep central peak and snorkel the surrounding reef.
If you're driving, park (ST10 per day) at the shop with the Namu’a sign in Mutiatele; they’ll call the resort to come pick you up.
