Samoa hails milestone Radisson hotel signing
Radisson Hotel Group is checking into Samoa.
In a first partnership between an international hotel group and a fully Samoan-owned and operated resort, Return to Paradise Resort is joining the Radisson Individuals brand.
Return to Paradise Resort becomes a Radisson Individuals property, allowing it to maintain its Samoan identity, while benefiting from Radisson’s commercial support and global distribution reach.
It is located on Return to Paradise Beach in Lefaga with 117 keys, comprising resort rooms and two- and three-bedroom self-contained villas.
Guests can enjoy a variety of dining experiences at multiple outlets, including the signature Paradise Kitchen restaurant and the Rockpool Bar.
The Samoa resort will undergo a refurbishment to align with Radisson’s global standards.
Aiono Hinauri Petana, Board Chairperson of Return to Paradise Resort Samoa, said: “We are proud to remain fully Samoan-owned partnering with one of the world’s most respected hotel groups.”
“Working with Radisson allows us to share the magic of Samoa with a wider global audience while continuing to be authentically ourselves.”
Danilo Curcuruto, Director of Development, Australasia, Radisson Hotel Group, added: ” The partnership reflects how the Radisson Individuals brand can complement independent resorts while fully respecting their identity, heritage, and operational control.”
