Beach fale

Beach fale

A fale (pronounced fah-lay), is a traditional Samoan thatched roof house. Traditional fales do not have walls, or they have thatched blinds surrounding the living quarters.

Beach fales, located on sandy beaches in and usually furnished in Western accommodations, are common lodging for tourists to Samoa.
