Coconuts Beach Club Resort

Top choice in 'Upolu


This the hippest resort in the country. Samoa's only overwater fale are found here, and what a find they are, with huge, luxuriously-appointed bedrooms, outdoor sunken tubs and two sun decks apiece. Back on land, beach fale have covered decks and stylish interiors; many of the villas line a river and are accessed via bridges. ‘Treehouse’ suites are back from the beach but have good views.

No kids under three.
