Lusia's Lagoon Chalets

Sonja Klages

Savai'i is the biggest but less developed island of Western Samoa. All but one village are located right on the coast line. Salelologa is the main village with the harbour and a mall, a market (where you can find good and cheap local handicraft and colorful lavalavas) and a couple hotels. The most "touristy" area, if you can call it that, is Manase on the North coast. The beach stretches as far as you can see and the accommodation there is good value for money. The most spectacular sight and a must see are the blowholes in Taga. They get as high as 20 metres on high tide and they are truly stunning. For a couple extra bucks locals will throw coconuts in the blowholes and out flying they come.
In Savai'i you can still find really untouched beaches.

Other highlights you shouldn't miss while you are there: the turtle rescue station, the lava fields, the Ancient Mounts, O le moe waterfalls, guavai waterfalls (run right into the ocean) and  the Falealupo Rainforest Canopy walk close to the end of this world.
