The Polynesian islands have always been considered a paradise for nature lovers because of their lush greenery, white-sand beaches and glittery blue lagoons. Whether you are looking for a quick getaway or a longer vacation to a beach destination, make Samoa your must-visit travel destination this year. Though hotels provide a private sanctuary with their own on-site facilities, they can also isolate you from the local cultural activities and attractions that are so unique to Samoa. So if you are planning a trip to this magical place, why not stay in a private homely accommodation instead of a standard hotel room? With a variety of cottages, cabins and bungalows to choose from, the sky is the limit when it comes to treating yourself to a place to stay in. So read on for our list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Samoa.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
