Wellness Tips

Make the most of your wellness experience.

💆

Book spa treatments at resort spas in advance, especially at Sinalei and Seabreeze, as they fill quickly during peak season

💆

Many resorts offer day-spa packages for non-guests - call ahead to arrange a beach-club-and-spa day without staying overnight

💆

Coconut oil is the cornerstone of Samoan wellness - apply it after sun exposure as a natural moisturizer and skin soother

💆

Sunday is observed as a day of rest across Samoa - most spas close or operate reduced hours, reflecting the cultural importance of rest and family

💆

Samoa's tropical sun is intense even on cloudy days - apply sunscreen SPF 50+ every two hours and treat any sunburn with fresh aloe vera or coconut oil

💆

Fresh tropical fruits like papaya, mango, and coconut available at markets are natural wellness foods - incorporate them into your daily diet for vitamins and hydration

💆

The sound of ocean waves and rainforest have deeply restorative effects - many visitors find even simple beach fale stays have significant stress-reducing benefits
