Visit Palauli
The Palauli District in Samoa is a stunning area of natural beauty. Located on the slopes of Mount Matavanu, the district is home to lush rainforest, cascading waterfalls and sweeping views of Upolu Island.
The main tourist attraction in Palauli is Sa'anapu Beach, an idyllic white sand beach surrounded by crystal clear waters and coral reefs perfect for snorkeling. For those wanting a bit more adventure head to Lake Lanoto'o National Park - a volcanic crater lake home to many rare species of birds and plants.
An interesting historical fact about Palauli is that it was once the centre of Samoa's political power. It was here where powerful chiefs held court and made decisions that affected the nation as a whole. Today, tourists can still visit traditional villages from this era such as Afega Village or Vaipouli Village which still have their original meeting houses intact.
