Honeymoon in Samoa
The original Polynesian paradise of jungle waterfalls and coral beaches
Honeymoon Score
Overview
Samoa represents Polynesian romance in its purest, most legendary state. Disconnected from the modern world, you can stay in traditional beachfront huts (fales), swim in the mythical To Sua Ocean Trench surrounded by giant ferns, and sleep lulled by South Pacific waves. An intimate, lush, and deeply serene honeymoon.
Pros
- Deserted dream beaches with total privacy and no massive hotel chains
- Pristine natural environment with volcanic pools and huge waterfalls
