With comfort and luxury well in hand, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to how to spend your time at Taumeasina.

Things To Do


There’s no shortage of activities at Taumeasina Island Resort. Visit the water sports pavilion for complimentary non-motorised equipment hire, where you can gear up to snorkel Palolo Marine Reserve just off the beach. Discover the diversity of underwater life, from vibrant coral gardens to swimming with sea turtles and bright tropical fish. Perhaps you’ll choose to paddle out in kayak or drift on a catamaran, or take a refreshing dip in the resort’s large cascading pool. Engage some new friends in a game of beach volleyball or learn the local flavours in a Samoan cooking class—whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed! To cap off the perfect day there’s live entertainment every night at Lapita Restaurant, or for something more intimate why not request a romantic 3-course dinner on your private balcony?

For adventures further afield, the tour desk will be only too happy to help organise fishing trips, guided excursions, or rental car for your explorations. Take a trip to the beautifully iconic To Sua Ocean Trench or brush up on colonial history at the nearby Robert Louis Stevenson Museum. Make the most of Taumeasina’s central location and short distance to all the vibrancy and cultural richness in Apia, or simply kick back and relax on one of the private white-sand beaches.

Thanks for the memories, Taumeasina! We loved the views and the brand-new facilities are outstanding. The food was delicious and upon arrival we felt so welcomed by the friendly staff. Thank you! We will be back.
