Vaisala Beach Hotel is set on the mountain slopes of North-Eastern Savai'i overlooking a white sandy beach. The hotel offers Hotel Rooms for budget travellers with private bathroom and air-conditioning.
This is a rather muddled property with lots of cement and might not be to everyone's liking, but its very reasonable price makes it a good spot for budget travellers wanting to explore the beautiful region. Furthermore, this is the only accommodation offering private rooms in the entire western side of Savai'i. The restaurant on the second storey of the main building overlooks the beach and is a wonderful place to relax, write some letters or read a book.
Vaisala Hotel is a popular spot for surfers with some excellent surf on the adjacent bay or for those who want to soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Our sandy bottom lagoon makes excellent swimming and this is the only hotel on the entire western half of Savai'i. Explore the region in comfort.
