In the developing phase of Survivor Samoa Surf & Beach Resort we took into account the beautiful landscapes that surround the site and the pristine natural beauty of the blue Pacific Ocean. The 19 acre site is part of the larger 240 acre freehold piece that is owned by the Otto V. Haleck Family. The Haleck Family also own the popular Tradewinds Hotel on the Island of Tutuila, American Samoa. The first phase of Survivor Samoa Surf & Beach Resort is slated to be a 4 star property located on the main beach with the second phase being a 5 star Luxury Resort at the top end of the resort standards and located on the northern beach location of this Island paradise. Escaping and getting away from daily activities and everyday life is a necessary antithesis of modern culture and existence. This escape comes in many unique forms. Our Resort site and property will seek to amplify these unique forms and the natural beauty of Survivor Samoa Surf & Beach Resort will sooth your soul and overwhelm your senses. The surroundings will exude traditional Samoan hospitality of warmth, friendliness and relaxation uniquely blended with the island paradise setting. As you approach the resort site along a winding roadway of various gradients and always through semi tropical vegetation and the spreading canopies of mature trees to ultimately arrive at the porte-cochere and entrance to the resort, you will be welcomed to friendly smiles and immediately thereafter your eyes will focus beyond the main central facilities grand entry to the sparkling waters of the clamshell swimming pool that looks to be cascading into the blue Pacific Ocean just beyond the white sandy beach – the magic unfolds. You have travelled many hours and the experience of your arrival cannot be underestimated in its importance. You are weary but you are quickly transformed into a world of relaxation and rejuvenation as you capture the beautiful views that this unique site offers.|

The inspiration for this design came, according to Arrielle, from a belief that the men and women of Samoa weaved as one in the Samoan culture — incorporating and relying on the resources from the natural environment in their daily lives. In this sense, certain aspects of the European influence has become ’Samoan’.|
