Just five hours from Australia's east coast and just across the glistening Pacific lies the heart of Polynesia – Samoa.
Blessed with stunning land and seascapes, this island nation is considered the heart of Polynesia and boasts a 3,000 year old way of life called Fa’a Samoa.
Fa’a Samoa celebrates and embraces traditional values such as caring for each other and the environment. Life has changed very little among many of Samoa’s people with time honoured customs still an integral part of life. With a population of about 180,000, Samoans are also recognized as the happiest people on Earth.
And in the next twelve months, the Samoans have something more to be happy about! 2011-2012 is Celebrate Samoa year, where the nation celebrates key milestones and anniversaries throughout the year. Aussies also have something else to celebrate - with Samoa being awarded the title of best value destination, you can now enjoy paradise, without it costing the Earth. With a range of accommodation options on offer, there is something for everyone in the Treasured Islands of the South Pacific.
