Sandy Beach Resort (Faleloa, Tonga)

Lean back, take a deep breath and listen to the lull of the waves and the palm trees rustling in the tropical breeze – you have arrived at the luxurious Sandy Beach Resort in the legendary kingdom of Tonga. Owned and operated by a German family, Sandy Beach Resort is a boutique resort that offers 12 exclusive bungalows situated directly on the best beach in Tonga. Unlike most Pacific beaches, the swimming and snorkeling at Sandy Beach is excellent at all tides! Located in the Ha’apai island group, the owners of Sandy Beach Resort have been working closely with the local community for nearly three decades to provide you with the most comfortable and authentic Pacific Island experience. Every year from July to November, the Ha’apai islands of northern Tonga are visited by the majestic southern humpback whales. They come to the islands from their feeding habitat in the Antarctic for mating and calving in the shallow, warm Tongan waters and can be seen from Sandy Beach Resort! As one of only two places in the world, Tonga offers you the incredible and unique opportunity of actually swimming with these impressive creatures.
