World Insights Bringing You best of world at one placeSamoa is rich in natural wonders. From pristine white sand beaches, lush rainforests, turquoise waters, lava fields, powerful blow holes, stunning waterfalls.This time round it’s Samoa’s turn, with Lalomanu beach on ‘Upolu turning out to be the perfect spot for first-class swimming and snorkelling. From the beach, you can spy the uninhabited island of Namua.
The island is a 10 minute boat ride from Upolu and has beach fale accommodation for visitors.If you want to stay, sleeping in open beach fales (huts) can impart the sense that you’re doing it in some kind of authentic, beachy, tropical island style.
There are lookouts and it takes about an hour to walk around the island.A kind of paradisiacal virtual reality for jaded Westerners, perhaps? If you like, locals will argue the toss. Lalomanu is what it is, and the sunsets just have to be seen to be believed.
