Vailele is a village situated on the central north coast of Upolu island in Samoa.

In the 1800s, the large Vailele Plantation inland was owned by the German company Deutsche Handels und Plantagen Gesellschaft (DHPG) which employed workers from the Melanesian islands.

It had formerly traded in the Pacific as Godeffroys but changed its name and expanded operations in Samoa when the family's parent company in Hamburg became bankrupt.

[2] Much of the village land lost during colonialism is now owned by the government operated Western Samoa Trust Estate Corporation (WSTEC).

Financial difficulties by WSTEC in the late 1970s and early 1980s resulted in the sale of land in Vailele.
