Nu'usafe'e Island

Upolu, Samoa
🪸Sharp reef🏝️Remote🦈Sharks

Nu'usafe'e Island—also known as Devil's Island—is Samoa's secret weapon for when the trade winds blow out every other spot. This uninhabited paradise island sits offshore, sheltered from the prevailing southeast trades that ruin mainland waves. When the wind is wrong everywhere else, Nu'usafe'e offers pristine, glassy barrels over coral reef with no one around for miles. The boat ride to this Robinson Crusoe setup is part of the adventure. For surfers chasing empty perfection in an unspoiled tropical setting, Devil's Island lives up to its legendary reputation.
