American (Amerika) Samoa is a group of six Polynesian islands in the South Pacific. Fourteen degrees below the equator, it is the United States' southern-most territory. It is known as the heart of Polynesia. If you drew a triangle from Hawaii, New Zealand and Tahiti you would find Samoa in the middle. Western Samoa is a neighboring independent country that shares the same culture. American Samoa became an unorganized U.S. territory in 1900.

The Samoas arguably represent the largest population of polynesian people and they take pride in a strong culture that has survived outside incursions amazingly well.

These pages are an appreciation of fa'a Samoa, the Samoan way. Your suggestions and information are welcome. This was the first home page dedicated to American Samoa and has been on the web since 1995.

Samoa is a beautiful island nation rich in vibrant culture and stunning natural surroundings. Many travelers to this beautiful country find that they would like to return again and again. If you are interested in traveling to Samoa year after year, one alternative to renting temporary accommodation is to buy timeshare on or near your favorite Samoan island. These vacation properties allow owners to secure lodgings on an annual or biennial basis, generally for a fraction of what it might cost in the long run to rent a hotel or motel each trip. Of course, before you buy Samoa timeshare, you will want to explore a few different properties to see what is right for you. Timeshare rentals are a convenient and cost-effective method of vacationing, and if you rent timeshare at a few different resorts you will have a clear idea of what you are looking for when you are ready to buy. To save thousands on your purchase, you may want to buy a resale property. When resorts sell timeshare the price will often be needlessly inflated. Purchasing from a third party reseller is an excellent way to save on your property.
