Samoa Cultural Village

Fa'a Samoa plays an important part in the village and communal life in Samoa, which is a traditional Polynesian civilization. The Samoans are proud of their powerful Fa'a Samoa, which translates to "the Samoan Way." It is the foundation of Samoan culture, dictating how Samoans should act and their responsibilities to their elders, superiors, families, communities, churches, and the environment.

In Samoa, there are around 362 nu'u or communities, totaling 1,800 matais (chiefs). Every village has churches of all kinds, as well as meeting buildings and open fales or cottages ringing the malae or village green. Fa'a Samoa places a high emphasis on greeting tourists, with Samoans serving as welcome hosts. Samoans, on the other hand, want their visitors to follow and respect local customs.

Despite the fact that this village is available every day of the week, the interactive meeting is unquestionably a must. With workshops on weaving, wood engraving, siapo fabric production, traditional tatau, dance, and music, well-educated and highly friendly hosts accompany tourists through all aspects of Samoan cultural and traditional life. Tourists can also participate in a 'ava(kava) rite and have lunch at the umu (hot-stone oven). Behind the Samoa Tourism Authority's information fale, the village is concealed.
