Overview

Vai Villas Samoa, an authentic and rich blend of sustainability, ecology, culture, marine exercise and fun; the launching point for our waterborne experience. Kayak or paddleboard through the overhanging mangroves, twisting and turning your way 1.5km to the beach on the lagoon of Safata Bay. Break here for a dip. Then paddle across to shallow open waters of the Safata Bay lagoon to an otherwise inaccessible, isolated and pristine beach at the end of the peninsula opposite for lunch. Return through the mangroves to Vai Villa Lodge.
