Talofa Lava!

This being an island paradise, you can travel to Samoa any time of the year. December - February is usually the rainy season, but with the effects of Climate Change, there have been years where we have not seen any rain or if we are lucky, some scattered showers. From November to April, the humidity might be a bit too much to handle as well. Isolated Tropical storms visit the islands usually from November to March. The best time of the year to visit Samoa is between May and October, which is the high tourist season, though there isn’t a difference in prices charged at other times of the year.

Hotels and accommodations in Samoa outside Apia, around Upolu and Savai'I, lie mostly along the coast and are quite scattered. Booking a hotel in Samoa, if only for the first night, is highly recommended so you don't end up in a small community with only a hand full of Samoa hotel providers to choose from! You can even use our Samoa map to book your hotel based on its location. And with many budget airlines now operating within the Pacific - a holiday to Australia, Fiji or Vanuatu is a great addition to any holiday to Samoa.
