The ladder down to the famous To-Sua Ocean Trench is slippery and almost vertical but it’s 100 per cent worth any nervousness to swim in these famous crystal clear waters. It doesn’t get much closer to paradise than this. @pilates_and_pizza #beautifulanticipation #samoa #tosua #wishyouwerehere #beautifulsamoa

Samoa is the perfect honeymoon or anniversary destination. It’s hard not to feel relaxed and romantic with vistas like this one from @goldenhourgirl who spent her five year wedding anniversary there last year. #honeymoondestination #beautifulanticipation #samoa #weddinganniversary

@sincerely.alexiarae is curating The Ultimate Guide to her beloved #Samoa. Here is one of her pictures that captures the essence of our country perfectly - untouched, peaceful and beautiful beyond belief. She says “When our borders reopen, I hope you choose us. We're waiting for you.” #beautifulanticipation #pacificislands #bliss #holidays

@denisamanasek is a photographer currently in sunny #Samoa. Here’s a shot of the gathering of cocoa pods from lush dense bush. Cocoa farming has been a long-standing tradition in Samoa and the final product has a distinct flavour locals love to enjoy: Koko Samoa, a favourite hot, chocolatey drink. #beautifulanticipation #kokosamoa #beautifulsamoa #cocoa

“Sheer beauty, so pure it takes my breath away” - Rupert Brooke Experience an Island so beautiful, so rich in culture, and so untouched. Take me to Savaii! #takemetosavaii #beautifulsamoa #beautifulanticipation #southpacific #paradise

The taste of the islands - fresh coconut water is delicious and incredibly good for you. In fact if you sit in a fale, listening to the waves under the Samoan sun while drinking directly from the coconut, you are nourishing your mind, body and soul. Instant therapy. @thepurelife_ #beautifulsamoa #samoa #coconut #bliss

We’re making #Samoa even more beautiful for you - for when our borders open and you can come back and see us. ❤️ Here are local artists at work, giving the carving at the entrance to the Samoa Tourism Authority office in Apia a makeover. Their artistic talent, using traditional tools, just blows us away! and work by @manameaartstudio #beautifulsamoa #beautifulwillalwaysbehere #samoaart #apia
