Laulii is a traditional village on the northern coastline of Upolu Island in the Pacific island nation of Samoa, about 30 kilometers west of Apia, the capital of Samoa, and is famous for its well-preserved Polynesian cultural heritage and tranquil island atmosphere. Surrounded by coconut groves and coral reefs, the village is nestled against the sea, with traditional "fale" (thatched huts) in a patchwork of buildings, continuing the Samoan architectural wisdom of the past thousand years. The traditional way of life of the inhabitants, such as the handmade tapa (bark cloth), the joyous siva dance and the weekly church service on Sundays, provide a window into Samoa's original culture. The waters off Laulii are perfect for snorkeling and swimming, with colorful corals and schools of tropical fish in crystal clear waters, attracting travelers looking for a blend of nature and people. As the epitome of Samoan village life, Laulii is a unique example of Pacific islanders living in harmony with nature.
