Savaiian Hotel

Savai'i


The large enclosed fale here are many steps above your average beach hut, with balconies, fans and private bathrooms. The units have amenities including air-conditioning, while new budget rooms are basic but excellent value. They’re all set in a sparse garden between the village and the sea; the water’s too shallow for swimming, but there is a small pool.

It also rents snorkelling gear and kayaks, and can arrange tours of Savai'i.
