Coconuts Beach Club is back after the devastating tsunami!
Talofa Lava from Coconuts in Samoa!
On 22 October, the entire Coconuts team, along with many of our
family and friends, celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the
opening of the Original Beach Club – the forerunner of Coconuts
Beach Club Resort & Spa. At that time, the Beach Club consisted
only of the Bar, Kitchen, Palm Terrace, and Public Bathrooms. We
have indeed come a very long way in twenty years!
We were so pleased to have a very distinguished list of family,
friends, and dignitaries joining us in our wonderful celebration.
The keynote speech was delivered by none other than the Prime
Minister of Samoa, and the Pastor of the Maninoa Methodist
Church provided a lovely blessing. This wonderful celebration
took place in and around our brand new Dining Room, which is
now bigger and better! We enjoyed a wonderful feast followed
by a traditional Fiafia celebration from our neighboring village. It
was truly a wonderful day and a great celebration for Coconuts.
We have been VERY busy at Coconuts! In the month of October, we
were able to finish construction of the new roof over the swim-up
bar. This is a traditional, thatched roof that is similar to the one that
was there before, however, it is now quite a bit higher and very
dramatic. Work will continue to be done in and around the pool
area, as we construct new thatched-roof shade fales.
The construction of our new Office facility continues, and we hope
to be completed with this project by December 15. It will be a
welcome relief to be able to centralize our office activities in one
place instead of the two temporary locations we currently use. We
will also be starting to build our new Reception in about two weeks. It is anticipated that we will work on both
the reception and the office building at the same time since they are located quite close to each other.

Anniversary, Improvements & More!
In the meantime, we are happy to say that we have been running at full capacity with a lot of Returning Nuts .
Despite the occasional minor distraction due to the construction activity, we are so happy to be receiving very
positive feedback from our guests on their Coconuts experience. We hope to see YOU soon at Coconuts!
Fa’afetai,
