Sinalei Reef Resort, Western Samoa

Holidays that Legends are Made From...

Background

Part of the magic of Sinalei Reef Resort stems from its history. Once a site where the great warriors of old would feast themselves and rejuvenate their energy prior to war, Sinalei offers the same restorative properties now. Its beauty... its spirit... its peace... comes not just from its spectacular location overlooking an azure lagoon, but from an energy that's inherent to the area.

That pride and respect of the area's history can be recognized in the design of Sinalei. The resort's main entrance, restaurant, and bar, with their domed ceilings are built in the Samoan ways of old. The afa, or knotted workmanship of the ribbed ceilings bound to pillar uprights, is a craft seldom practiced today. Set in a landscaped paradise of coconut palms, bougainvillea, scented frangipani and exotic orchids, each fale or independent villa has its own balcony with garden or sea views.

Relax in the open-walled fine restaurant, pool-side bar, or browse in the gift shop. Enjoy hours of pleasure swimming or snorkelling in clear waters of the lagoon, or lying with a book in the shade of a coconut palm on the white sand beach.

Here's where you'll find a welcome in true fa'a Samoa - the way of the Samoan people. The friendly staff are the decendants of the warriors of old, and it would be their delight to welcome you to Sinalei.
