The #Samoa effect - impossible not to wear a smile like this when you’re in our islands staying this close to a beautiful beach. 📷 IG @weltweitdaheim #sunsout #pacificislands #polynesia #visitsamoa #beachlife

Happiness is waking up to views like this, and going to sleep to the sound of the waves outside your accommodation at Kuki's by the harbour. #samoa #paradise #visitsamoa #pacificislands #polynesia 📍@kukisbytheharbour_samoa

This lau i'a almost looks like a work of art. This fish wrapped so prettily in braided coconut leaves is bound for the umu. 📷 @christintheilig #samoa #ourculture #pacificislands #polynesia #fish

#Sun, #sand and #sea. The makings of a perfect day in #beautifulsamoa.

Talofa! Did you miss us? We had some technical issues that took us offline for a while but we are back thanks to some great help from a Son of Samoa and ready to share our #BeautifulSamoa with all of you. Fa'afetai 💛

Talofa is how we say hello. But you can’t say it without a big Samoan smile on your face! ‘Talofa’ from us here in the islands - we hope you’re having a great week. 🇼🇸 #beautifulpeopleofsamoa #talofa #ourculture #samoa #polynesia #visitsamoa

Have you ever had a steaming hot cup of Koko Samoa? It’s our traditional drinking chocolate and we love it here in our beautiful islands. This little girl is roasting cocoa beans the traditional way, stirring them with a stick on a hot surface. Once they’re ready they’ll be muddled into a soft paste, ready for use. 📷 credit @ilovesavaii #ourculture #talofa #chocolate #kokosamoa #pacificislands
