Villa Vailima - Robert Louis Stevenson Museum

Samoa loves Robert Louis Stevenson - and he loved Samoans. The love continues to this day as evidenced by the fact that he continues to be Samoa’s most famous ex-patriot. They gave him a Samoan name which was easier for them to pronounce. They called him Tusitala - which means 'writer of tales.' In most of the rest of the world, he is affectionately known as 'R.L.S.' - said by some, as the most beloved initials in all of English literature. His restored home is now the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum (RLSM). The RLSM has become Samoa’s premier historical venue. The home and grounds have been preserved and maintained in a way that makes it available for Samoans and visitors to Samoa to know about Tusitala and his love for this country. The happiest time of his life was spent in this very place. He is buried immediately above the home site and his own words of the epitaph on his tomb reflect his desire to be buried here. **Our prestigious venue offers:** * Dignity and privacy for your function * Room for formal sit-down dinners or more casual receptions * Limitless photo opportunity sites * Large, secure car park area * Competitive rates with flexible options Let the spirit of Tusitala add to the memories of your next event!
