Manase is a village on the central north coast of
Savai'i island in
Samoa in the political district of

Situated by the sea with a white sandy beach, Manase has become a popular tourist destination since the 1990s with low budget and locally owned
beach fale accommodation. There is a petrol station with a shop at the east end of the village and another small store selling basic goods at Tanu Beach Fales. The nearest hospital is at the neighbouring village of
Safotu and there's a post office and a small police station in
