Rooms and Villas

Return to Paradise Resort features studio rooms and two- and three-bedroom villas. Most rooms are in blocks of three, some interconnecting and accessible via verandah. Each room includes a private verandah with outdoor seating, an ensuite bathroom, cable TV, a desk, chairs, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, a hairdryer, an iron & ironing board, and a mini-fridge with tea and coffee-making facilities.

Onsite Dining

Paradise Kitchen is the signature restaurant, sourcing local ingredients for international dishes. The Rock Pool Bar offers unique cocktails and sunset views. There is a less formal environment where you can comfortably enjoy dining even in your bathing suit. A romantic 3-course dinner can be arranged for the bride and groom at Rock Pool Fale or on the beach.

Leisure Activities

Return to Paradise Resort & Spa hosts a weekly cultural show with fire-knife dancers and a traditional Samoan buffet. Guests can participate in Samoan activities such as basket weaving, umu, prayer sessions, and visits to nearby villages. The resort offers massages based on ancient techniques and traditional oils. Guides will take you to a secret location where turtles cavort in their natural habitat. The Rock Pool Bar offers stargazing, whale spotting, and turtles that swim right up to the bar. Return to Paradise Resort is the preferred boot-camp location for the TOA SAMOA.

Location and Transport

Return To Paradise Resort is 25 km from Faleolo International Airport. Nearby landmarks include Lefaga Bay (2 km), Giant Clam Sanctuary (0.5 km), Matareva (4 km), and Return to Paradise Beach (2 km). The two Return to Paradise vehicles plus the General Manager's silver Pajero drive beyond the district of Lefaga.

Available Services

The resort provides authentic Samoan hospitality. The professionally trained staff ensure your fine dining experience is worth every moment. Each year, four tertiary scholarships are distributed to top graduates of the two local high schools in honor of Tala. All profits from resort stays create meaningful jobs and opportunities for people. The tour finishes with a visit to the local primary school.

“This resort emphasizes Samoan culture, with staff noted for exceptional attentiveness. I appreciate its commitment to reinvesting profits within Samoa. Its location provides a true sense of escape from city life.”
