10 Best Conference Centres & Venues in Samoa 🤝🏼 [2024]

1. Tanoa Tusitala Hotel (Apia)

Only moments away from Apia‘s city centre yet situated on the idyllic Mulinuu Peninsula, Tanoa Tusitala Hotel provides a diverse range of meeting spaces that are sure to ignite the enthusiasm of your guests. The “Conference and Events Centre” is your largest indoor space easily accommodating up to 200 people and can be divided into three smaller rooms. The “Conference Fale” provides a much more aesthetically pleasing space in an oval Samoan architecture-inspired room for up to 50 delegates. Should you need something larger, you can even opt for an outdoor marquee with table layouts for up to 400 guests. Two separate boardrooms complete the package of this best resort in Samoa for conferences.

2. Lava Hotel (Apia)

Your alternative option on the Mulinuu Peninsula of Apia, the Lava Hotel boasts conference rooms for up to 120 delegates providing a more intimate but elegant space with easy access to kitchen facilities and bathrooms. Make use of the hot or cold buffet provided and opt for tea, coffee or a full drinks reception. Either way, delegates need only stroll downstairs to an attractive bar and restaurant area, ideal for those side meetings. Hotel rooms, on the other hand, are perhaps the most modern in Samoa with free WiFi, work desks, ensuite and 45″ smart TVs.

6. Return to Paradise Resort (Upolu)

For an off-the-beaten-track conference resort in Samoa that radiates Polynesian charm with a large open conference fale, Return to Paradise Resort is well worth considering for your event. The fale can sit up to 400 delegates on tables or up to 500 in a theatre-style layout. If you prefer a cooler temperature, however, the “Gary Cooper Lounge” is equipped with air-conditioning and is better suited for smaller conferences or board meetings. Other additions include free WiFi, light and sound systems, secretarial services and conference day catering packages.
