Accommodations in Samoa with Yoga Classes and/or Equipment

With balmy temperatures, lush interiors, breathtaking beaches and an authentic and enriching culture, Samoa offers the perfect retreat to rejuvenate and replenish. The down-to-earth South Pacific destination is not exactly brimming with flashy resorts, but that’s kind of the point. If you’re looking for a low-key retreat where you can incorporate yoga into your holiday routine in a lush tropical environment and through classes or simply with the equipment provided, then these are the yoga resorts in Samoa to set your sights on.

Before we jump in, also check out the 10 Best Places to Experience Yoga in Samoa for even more recommendations.

1. Aganoa Lodge

Don’t leave this piece of paradise just to the surfers. Although it’s primarily advertised as a surf camp, Aganoa Lodge offers one of the best resorts in Samoa for yogis. Not only do they often have a resident yoga instructor to fit yoga classes into your holiday schedule, but yoga mats are available for guest use should you want to get some independent sessions in.

As for accommodation, the lodge has some of the most upscale faux-beach fale experiences on Savai’i. Your stylish and spacious oval fale has its own private deck leading straight onto the sands, while out the back is your ensuite rock wall shower.

Meals are all-inclusive and served in the dining fale with the Tafua Rainforest Reserve out the back and the Pacific Ocean out the front. There’s more to do here with massages, fishing, kayaking, SUPping and eco tours available. For more surf lodges, take a look at the 7 Best Surf Resorts & Lodges in Samoa.

2. Taumeasina Island Resort

Its own private island yet moments away from Apia‘s bustling city centre, Taumeasina Island Resort is Samoa’s largest resort with all the facilities you could imagine. Among its extensive program are regular yoga classes by Yoga Samoa, who you can also hire for one-on-one yoga sessions. Other ways to unwind include the two resort pools, Fofo Spa & Sauna, tennis courts, watersports equipment and very popular fiafia nights.

As for rooms, the “Oceanview Hotel Rooms” will meet the requirements of most guests, boasting contemporary interiors of what you would expect of an international-style hotel. Alternatively, treat yourself to the full home-away-from-home experience in one of the two- or three-bedroom villas complete with a modern kitchen and plenty of space for your family or group.

3. Salani Surf Resort

Nestled in an enclave on the south coast of Upolu yet moments away from quality waves is Salani Surf Resort, an immediate go-to for a surf and yoga stay in Samoa. The resort often hosts its own retreats with two yoga classes daily, meditation workshops, diet and nutrition tips, vegan and gluten-free meals and unlimited surf transfers.

Stay in one of the eight elevated units that boast estuary views from its private deck, while air-conditioning and an attractive ensuite bathroom with a waterfall shower are also part of the parcel.

4. Misiluki Retreat

Famous for its natural skincare and spa products locally sourced and made in Samoa, Misiluki also now complements its wellness philosophy with an accommodation exclusively for yoga, meditation and special interest groups. Nestled on the lush verdant slopes of Mt Fiamoe, 15 minutes from Apia one way and 15 minutes from white sandy beaches of Upolu the other way, the accommodation for small retreat groups (up to 10 people) offers an idyllic setting to recentre and re-energise.

5. Samoan Highland Retreat

For yogis looking for their own space, take a look at the holiday homes of Samoan Highland Retreat. While the most striking holiday home on the property is the “Fale”, it’s actually the four-bedroom three-bathroom “Homestead” that includes its very own yoga studio. The wraparound enclosed lounge/yoga studio comes complete with all of your essential yoga props. What’s more, the verdant interior of Upolu, which is still a manageable drive from Apia, provides the perfect retreat setting.
