Joelan Beach Fales

Long, languid Lano Beach easily rates as one of the best strips of sand on Savai’i, and Joelan’s simple but well-kept thatched fale nab the best bit – some are so close to the water you could almost dangle your toes in the surf. The food here is bountiful and beautiful, as is the down-home hospitality. Ask about taking its paopao (traditional canoe) for a paddle.
