Lalovaea is a quiet village on the western coast of the Samoan island of Upolu, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of Apia. It is known for its well-preserved traditional Samoan culture, with community life closely centered around the Mana and Fa'a Samoa, the Samoan Way. Surrounded by crystal clear beaches and lush coconut groves, the village is ideal for experiencing local fishing, handicrafts (such as traditional weaving) and village ceremonies. With the warmth and hospitality of the Laloa'ako residents, visitors can participate in daily activities such as To'ona'i (a grilled fish feast) and Siva (a traditional dance) to get a taste of Samoa's uniquely slow island life. As a small microcosm of Samoan culture, it demonstrates the wisdom of Pacific Island communities to live in harmony with nature.
