A Guide to Kids’ Clubs and Babysitting in Samoa

A trip abroad is not just about soaking up the sun and playing in the pool. One of the best ways to get little ones immersed in the culture of Samoa is through the kids’ club. With an array of activities specially designed for children between five and 15 years old, the kids’ clubs on Upolu will not only give younger family members something fun to do but give parents a well-deserved time off. As you’re soon to find out, Upolu is the only Samoa destination with a formal kids’ club and babysitting services – and a very limited selection at that. Find out more in this guide to the best kids’ clubs and babysitting in Samoa!

The Top 3 Resorts in Samoa with Babysitting Services

Which accommodations and resorts offer babysitting in Samoa? Here’s your answer:

  1. Taumeasina Island Resort
  2. Sheraton Samoa Beach Resort
  3. Saletoga Sands Resort & Spa

As you can see, there are very few resorts that offer formal babysitting services in Samoa. It is possible to inquire about babysitting services at accommodations elsewhere, but this is usually with a local family member or “mama” from the village, rather than a trained childcare professional.

Should you choose to go down this route, be sure to inquire as soon as you arrive at your accommodation, or either via email or over the phone if possible, to allow plenty of time for your accommodation provider to get organised.

Taumeasina Island Resort Kids’ Club

A supervised daily program for younger guests of Taumeasina Island Resort in Apia, the Taumeasina Kids’ Club incorporates educational, cultural and fun activities for ages five to 15 years old. Most activities on the agenda are free for the first two children per booking if you’re staying at the resort.

Kids’ Club Schedule

The Taumeasina Kids’ Club starts at around 9:30 am or 10 am seven days a week with the option for kids to enjoy the fun all day, or sometimes to just join in for the morning, afternoon or evening. Activities typically run until 9 pm.

Kids’ Club Activities

Activities on the agenda typically include coconut demonstrations, weaving lessons, Samoan dance classes, snorkelling lessons in the pool, hermit crab hunting, ice cream eating competitions, koko Samoa demonstrations, kayak and catamaran sailing lessons, games on the beach and much more.

There are some experiences that parents can get involved in, such as touch rugby and Samoan cricket (kilikiti), played with the resort staff and parents.

In the evening, activities include colouring-in and environmental talks about Samoa’s sea life, after-dark spotlight walks, bingo and trivia, kids’ movie night, Samoan storytelling, dancing and singing, and the resort’s popular fiafia night.
