Perfect Day
Start your day early at the Sinalei to make the most of your time in Samoa. Enjoy a delicious breakfast of tropical fruits, seared tuna with papaya salsa, and spiced taro in the dining area. Rent a car from reception and take a drive along the South Coast Road to visit To Sua Trench, a stunning emerald plunge pool surrounded by vines and tropical plants. After swimming in the natural waters, visit a couple of waterfalls like Sopo’aga and Fuipisia. Head back to the Sinalei for a light lunch of freshly caught fish with an ocean view. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the swimming pool or enjoying a luxury treatment at the waterside spa. In the evening, watch the sunset from the jetty and have a waterfront dinner.

Samoan Culture
Plan your stay to coincide with the weekly cultural day at the Sinalei, held every Wednesday. This day will give you a deeper understanding of Fa’a Samoa, the Samoan way of life, focusing on the importance of family and religion. Guests can participate in an age-old ava ceremony, savor traditional cuisine cooked in a traditional umu, and learn how to weave baskets from palm leaves. The highlight of the day is the Fia Fia night, featuring impressive fire dancing and traditional Samoan singing.
