Return to Paradise Resort & Spa
Made famous in the 1950s film of the same name, the glimmering beachfront of Return to Paradise Resort is the stuff of Hollywood dreams. Let lush palms and white sands whisk you away, all as you enjoy the warm hospitality of this family-owned hideaway, hosted by the same custodians of the land for over 1,000 years.
Two eateries cater your stay on Samoa’s south island – a poolside cafe with international favourites and the signature restaurant with fresh local seafood. You’re also invited to cool off with tiki drinks at Rock Pool Bar, housed in a traditional Samoan hut, and relax at Sparadise Day Spa with massages fueled by ancient oils.
Return to Paradise is ideally situated on the pristine coastline of Lefaga, Samoa, offering easy access to the stunning Papaseea Sliding Rocks and the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum.
The hotel is approximately a 30-minute drive from Faleolo International Airport (APW) and a 30-minute drive from the capital city, Apia. Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
