The virgin island of Samoa is the place to be, this summer, if you are looking for the ultimate tropical getaway. Samoa is a virgin or largely unexplored island which is located between the islands of Hawaii and New Zealand. The island of Samoa on virtue of being a "virgin" island is considered as one of the last vestiges of authentic Polynesian culture. If you visit one of the many idyllic villages of these islands you get a taste of Fa Samoa (or Samoan culture or traditions) where you get to witness the traditional Samoan tattoo session where all the youths who have come of age, get tattoos done all over the bodies to commemorate their transition into adulthood.
You can also relish the unadulterated hospitality which the Samoans treat their visitors with. If you are an explorer, a person hungry for some adventure, Samoa will not leave you disappointed. This island abounds in natural beauty. There are vast expanses or tracts of deep, unfathomable forests full of unfamiliar flora and fauna. There are turquoise blue ocean waters that just beckon you to take a dip. There are numerous coral reefs which are brightly colored, vast beaches which are not made of sand but from fossilized lava.
There are blowholes like the Alofaaga Blowhole which are very intriguing to look at, and also there is a mysterious and eccentric man sitting nearby, who perpetually throws coconuts in the blowholes and watches them shoot up moments later. If you are here for fishing why not pay a visit to the freshwater To Sua Ocean Trench which is teeming with fish? And if you like the majority of the tourists are wont to do on a Samoa holiday - indulge in various water sports such as kayaking, snorkeling, deep sea diving, scuba diving, paddle pushing etc., then you can certainly do all of these activities to your heart's content.
And if you want to do nothing except relax….. Then nothing is more relaxing than lying around on a fale (the traditional Samoan thatched roof) and sip chilled coconut water and listen to the rhythm created by the waves. There are a few quality Samoa hotels located near the Samoa airport. These Samoa resorts are also situated near the ferry center to Savaii, so if you are looking for a place where you can get a night of respite and good sleep, before travelling to Savaii, these budget motels might be your best bets. These motels provide comfortable, clean and hygienic rooms that are cooled by an air conditioner and that comes with insect proof windows.
The hotel staff is friendly and helpful and will give you many helpful suggestions regarding local touring. The hotels do not have private beaches, but do have a private jetty which will ensure a safe and secure bathing in the ocean. Moreover it serves generous servings of absolutely delicious home cooked breakfast and dinners. What more can you need or ask for in order to ensure the perfect tropical holiday within budget in Samoa?
