Saʻilele is a village on the north shore in the Eastern District of Tutuila Island in American Samoa.

The temple consisted of a small fale about ten feet in length, covered by a low roof.

[4]: 79 According to a high chief of the village, the word Saʻilele derived from the presence of the god Tuliatua, and the goddesses Nafanua, Tilafaiga and Taema.

HTC's Vaesaʻu Talauega Letumu explained in an interview: Saʻilele was a village full of ghosts and supernatural spirits in the past, hence the name Sa-i-le-eleʻele (meaning forbidden grounds).

Tualiatua's dwelling place was known as the heathen temple, malumalu faapaupau, which was located in the center of the village with a sacred coconut grove next to it.

The sandy area below the rock outcrops at the western end of the beach is also a popular site for picnics.
