LITIA SINI BEACH RESORT
Our Resort Report
OUR Thoughts on Litia Sini Beach Resort, Lalomanu Beach, South Coast, Upolu
Upolu Island’s south coast is famous for wonderful beaches, romantic seascapes, superb, natural surroundings and exceptionally hospitable people. Lalomanu Beach is one of the best remote locations on the entire Upolu South Coast.
Originally, Litia’s comprised more rustic traditional Samoan fales built right on the beach, in which some guests slept in the old-style way; on a mattress on the floor. Even today, some Samoan families still build traditional beach fales for family beach breaks and visitors to Samoa will see these on many beaches. Litia’s place was entirely rebuilt on the original site (but on raised ground around 3 metres above the beach), and now comprises 16 modern, enclosed and private, (but still traditional-style) fales and a big new open-plan dining room and bar fale with a beautiful veranda, where guests mingle over meals and new friendships are made. Breakfast and dinner is included in the tariff. Complementing the bungalow-style fales and the new dining fale are two modern communal bathroom blocks. Lunch can be purchased from the restaurant from 11.30am – 3:00pm Fully stocked bar with cold drinks including wines and cocktails.
At Litia’s Beach Resort the beach setting really is superb. The sunrise and the sunsets are breath-taking, the water of the lagoon really does teem with fish and does sparkle in the sun and the south-easterly trade winds do provide a cooling breeze in the evenings. Sure, there are great beach locations elsewhere in the world, but what makes Litia’s such a wonderful holiday spot is not only the exceptionally beautiful beach location but also the experience of the unique Samoan lifestyle and their Samoan village-style hospitality.
Litia’s Beach Resort is located on Lalomanu Beach, which is at the eastern most point on the south coast where the Main South Coast Road turns back towards the north. It takes a little over an hour to drive to and from Apia and, depending on the route taken, around an hour and a half between the International Airport at Faleolo and Litia’s.
Minimum Stay Policy
Litia Sini has a year-round 3-night minimum stay policy.
Your Accommodation Options
There is a total of 16 fales at Litia Sini Beach Resort and all have an ocean view. Guests in the “Beachfront Oceanview Fales” enjoy uninterrupted views of the beach, lagoon, reef and ocean from a covered veranda. Two of the Beachfront Oceanview Fales are designated “Family Fales.” The “Garden Beach Fales with Sea View” are in a row behind the Beachfront Fales, and are placed so that guests have a view of the lagoon from the veranda, but this is a view framed on each side by fales in front.
Most Fales are the traditional Samoan oval shape with wood shingle roofs; all have plenty of room, excellent beds, louvered windows for ventilation and mosquito netting over the beds. Bathroom facilities are in two communal bathroom blocks which are kept meticulously clean. The fales are built sitting on poles on the raised land approximately 3 metres above the beach. Direct access to the beach is via around 10 steps in the sloping, natural stone wall that backs the beach.

Garden Beach Fales with Sea View:
Located in the Second Row behind the Beachfront Fales. Each one has a veranda from which there is a view of the lagoon between the Beachfront Oceanview Fales out front.
Choose this accommodation type if you are a light sleeper, as, when the waves are really pounding on the reef, light sleepers can find the natural sound of the waves a bit noisy!
