A Guide to Kids’ Clubs and Babysitting in Samoa

Written by Real Travellers, Not Algorithms

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.

The Top 4 Resorts in Samoa with Babysitting Services

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

Saletoga Sands Resort & Spa
Taumeasina Island Resort
Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows
Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa (during the family-friendly season, from November to April)

As you can see, very few resorts offer formal babysitting services in Samoa. It is possible to inquire about babysitting services at accommodations elsewhere but, according to most resort and beach fale operators we’ve talked to, 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.
