Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book accommodation 2-3 months ahead for travel during June-October peak season and around major events like the Teuila Festival in August-September

💡

Beach fales at Lalomanu, Salamumu, and Return to Paradise Beach require direct booking by email or phone - they are not always on Booking.com or Airbnb

💡

Contact resorts directly for the best rates - Sinalei, Seabreeze, and Coconuts Beach Club often offer direct booking discounts not available online

💡

Savai'i accommodation is limited - book the Savaiian Hotel, Le Lagoto Beach Resort, or beach fales well ahead if planning an overnight visit to the island

💡

Request a room away from the generator if staying at budget guesthouses - backup power generators can be very noisy overnight
