Leauva'a, Samoa: A Pacific Pearl of Tradition and Nature

Leauva'a is a traditional village in the northern part of the island of Upolu, Samoa, situated on the scenic south coast about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Apia. It is famous for its well-preserved Polynesian culture, with traditional malo huts and thatched-roof fale houses, and villagers still practicing ancient handicrafts such as weaving and wood carving, while traditional Samoan kava ceremonies are often held here.

Surrounded by coconut palms and coral reefs, the nearby beaches are popular for snorkeling and Samoan "umu" meals. It is an ideal destination to explore the blend of Samoan tradition and modernity with a slower pace of island life, traditional dance performances and an up-close look at the cultural essence of Samoa's "fa'a Samoa" (Samoan way).
