Interior of a Beach Fale (Samoan dwelling) on Savaii, Independent Samoa, with a view towards the Sea
Fales are traditional Samoan houses made from wood and palm leaves with open sides. Some on beaches are small and simple hut-like constructions with sides that open up to let in the sea breeze and let down at night for privacy and shelter. Fales can also be larger and more solid especially in built-up areas.
