Robert Louis Stevenson was the famous Scottish author of such books as Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, to name a few. He settled in Samoa in the early 1890s with his family. The Samoan's gave him the name Tusitala, meaning 'teller of tales'. After his death he was buried with a ceremony normally reserved for royalty. You can visit his beautiful island plantation home, which is now a museum at Vailima. The home and grounds have been beautifully restored, and contain many of Stevenson's personal belongings. Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm. Saturday 9am to 12pm. Closed Sundays. A nominal admission fee is charged.More information
