More than somewhere to stay
A place to belong.
A reason to care.
Eco Camp Samoa is a project by Lumanai Pasifika Ltd, a Samoan-owned and operated business. We are finalising the design for our Lalomanu camp and intend to begin building in early 2027, creating a shared place for Samoan communities and visitors from overseas.
Rooted in place.
Design grounded in Samoan traditions, local knowledge and locally available materials. Cultural experiences shaped and led by aiga and the local community.
Grow together.
Share food, stories and knowledge. Make space for adventure, reflection, respect for place and a strong sense of belonging.
Proposed experiences & programmes
Challenge yourself.
Connect with Samoa.
From day activities to multi-day camps and retreats, the programme vision creates opportunities to try new things and learn together.
Ocean adventures
Kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, diving and reef-based learning are proposed for the coastal setting.
Outdoor challenges
High and low ropes, climbing, abseiling, a confidence course and archery to build confidence and teamwork.
Youth leadership
Outdoor challenges, shared reflection and group activities to develop resilience, confidence and leadership.
Cultural exchange
Learn about Samoan life, values and traditions through experiences developed with local aiga and community.
Retreats & wellbeing
Planned leadership, team development, wellbeing and supported personal-development retreats.
Practical learning
Workshops, outdoor education, first-aid training and community programmes in shared learning spaces.
These are proposed activities, not a confirmed operating schedule. Opening activities, staffing and equipment are part of the next planning stage.
