1. Discover Apia’s Vibrant Nightlife

Whether your vibe is kicking back with sundowner cocktails or dancing into the wee hours, Apia has the bars and nightclubs for an unforgettable night out.

The Apia Marina is where much of the party is if you want to mingle with locals and expats. Otherwise, we like the Apia Yacht Club on the Mulinu’u Peninsula.

2. Try Your Luck at Samoa’s Only Casino

Unmissable on the Apia Harbour, mainly because it’s a multi-storey bright white building right next to the historic Aggie Grey Hotel, Black Sands Casino is Samoa’s only casino. This gambling joint is exclusively open to those 21 years and older, so don’t forget your passport or driver’s license for ID!

Inside, you’ll find gaming tables offering Poker (3 card & 5 card) and Blackjack, as well as slot machines to test your luck. Two full-licence bars keep the drinks flowing, with beer being the most popular choice (both local and international varieties are available). Feeling peckish? Don’t worry, snacks are offered on-site to keep you fuelled up for your gaming session.

Friday and Saturday nights are when the casino really comes alive, so if you’re after a buzzing atmosphere, that’s when to visit. The casino accepts AUD, NZD, USD and FJD, but keep in mind that winnings are paid out in Samoan Tala (ST).

It’s open seven days a week from 4 pm to 4 am, giving you plenty of time to try your hand at becoming Samoa’s next big winner!

Location: Beach Road, Apia (next to Aggie Grey’s Hotel).

If you’re looking for a destination that naturally isn’t swarming with families, then you’re bound to find sanctuary at one of Apia’s two golf courses.

The Faleata Golf Course and Royal Samoa Country Club are both park courses boasting 18 holes of challenges, each winding through the coconut palms.
