Mount Vaea is a 472 m[1] summit overlooking Apia, the capital of Samoa located on the north central coast of Upolu island.

Mount Vaea is best known as the burial place of the Scottish writer and poet Robert Louis Stevenson, who lived the last four years of his life in Samoa before his death on 3 December 1894.

Stevenson, who had lived on the east side of Mount Vaea, had chosen the mountain top as his final resting place.

The ashes of his wife Fanny Stevenson, who died in California in 1914, were taken back by her daughter to Samoa in 1915 and buried beside her husband.
