When you think of the Pacific Islands beaches mainly spring to mind, right? Samoa not only boasts some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, it also offers plenty of breathtaking rainforest, mountain and valley views and nature trails to really whet your travel appetite. It’s a slow-paced island hideaway that’ll leave you and your guests ultra-relaxed and totally blissed out.
