Return to Paradise Resort & Spa

Return to Paradise Resort is located just 30 minutes from the airport in Lefaga on the south coast of Upolu. Set on one of Samoa’s most famous beaches, it lies alongside a 400-metre stretch of white sandy beach and is named after the film of the same name, shot there in 1953. At Return to Paradise Resort, you can relax by one of the pools, snorkel in the pristine waters, enjoy a traditional massage, experience one of the unique tours on offer or just laze on the white sandy beach. Tropical breakfast is included at the Cabana Cafe and Paradise Kitchen and the Rock Pool Bar will tempt your taste buds day and night with an array of fresh local and international dishes and wood-fired pizzas. Be sure not to miss the Fiafia night with a traditional feast, local award winning fire knife dancers and dance group.
