New jewel for the treasured islands - Aga Reef Resort to open its doors March 2013

Samoa Tourism Authority is proud to announce the opening of Aga Reef Resort - the newest 4 star resort on the picturesque south coast of Upolu. Aga Reef Resort, the brain child of former Samoan Trade Commissioner to New Zealand, Apete Meredith, is the newest addition to Samoa’s stellar line up of deluxe beach front resorts and is expected to be one of the hottest beachfront properties amongst travellers to the islands.

Set along the beautiful Lalomanu Beach, recently included in Lonely Planet Top 10 Paradises on Earth, Aga Reef Resort has a private island which houses 3 island villas, a Sunset Bar for delicious sun downers as well as a swimming pool.

The island is connected to the mainland by an overwater walkway constructed carefully as to not disturb the beautiful coral clusters and marine life that feature in the waters surrounding the resort. Waterfront villas, Ocean View hotel rooms as well as the reception, main restaurant, bar, spa and the main swimming pool are located on the mainland section of the resort. The kitchen will be headed by Chef Kit Foe - an award winning chef from Wellington who plans to develop a seafood focused, European/Samoan fusion offering to delight Aga’s patrons.

“Many people naturally gravitate to the nation’s capital of Apia not realizing that the best beaches and waterfront resorts are found along south coast of Upolu,” says Samoa Tourism Authority. Aga Reef Resort joins Sinalei Reef Resort & Spa, Seabreeze Resort and Coconuts Beach Club as one of the island’s signature boutique beach retreats.
