Lupe Sina Treesort

Top choice in 'Upolu

LoginSave

If you're looking for a (literal) love-nest, grab your bags – and your beloved – and head up the hill to Lupe Sina, home to two extraordinary treehouses. The bigger one is built 12m up a gigantic banyan tree; the other is 10m up an ava tree, with a suspended bedroom and a glass ceiling for unforgettable star-gazing.

The views, obviously, are magnificent; the professional staff, free pancake breakfasts and facilities are equally remarkable. There's an excellent on-site restaurant and tour desk. No kids under seven.
