Samoa consists of two big and many smaller islands. The main island is Opolu with the capital Apia, where you can find a lot of small shops. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then you should drive to one of the villages by rental car. Take for example a hut at Lalomanu beach in the southeast of the island directly at the sea. The hut is an open wooden house on stilts, which you can close with coconut palm leaf curtains. This kind of living is not very luxurious, but you can hear the waves rushing at night and enjoy an incredible sunrise directly from your bed in the morning. Once you've had enough of relaxing and lounging on the beach you can rent a car and visit the green lagoon "To Sua", the little jewel of Opolus. You won't ever forget this trip, that's for sure.
