Palau Pacific Resort sits on the coast of Koror, the main island of the Republic of Palau, across 27 hectares of tropical garden with a private white beach. No building here is taller than a coconut palm — the founder’s rule, kept ever since; the roofs are the triangular shape of the Palauan meeting house, the bai.

Its defining feature is the marine sanctuary of its own. The resort’s fringing reef is protected by Koror State law; over 590 species of marine life have been counted on it, including giant clams, the humphead wrasse, the humphead parrotfish and the hawksbill turtle. All of it a few metres off the beach.

The Splash Dive Center operates on the property — guided boat dives and snorkelling trips, equipment sales, rental and servicing, a one-day try dive, a four-day Open Water course and training for advanced divers. Boats also leave from here for Palau’s headline places: the Rock Islands, the Milky Way, the marine lakes and Peleliu.

Accommodation splits in two. The main Palau Pacific Resort side is cottages in the garden and along the beach, in four categories. The separate The Pristine Villas and Bungalows area, opened in 2019, holds just 12 standalone villas of three kinds: over the water, with a pool and a lagoon view, and with a pool and a view of the lotus pond. That area has its own reception, lounge, restaurant and a 21-metre infinity pool.

The resort has 160 rooms in total. The forest on the grounds is home to more than 35 bird species including Palauan endemics — a nature trail runs through it, and the Luuk nature centre opened in 2025.

No markup

You pay exactly the rate the resort publishes. On top of that, only the actual bank costs of currency conversion and the international transfer — no commission of ours.

We run the deal

Correspondence with the resort, holding the room, the contract, booking confirmation and all paperwork are on our side. There is nothing for you to arrange yourself.

Card payment

We accept payment by card through Stripe and issue an invoice. The transfer to the resort is our job — you do not have to find a way to pay abroad.

Support all the way

We help you choose the room and dates, work out the dive package, answer questions about flights and gear, and stay in touch until you are home.

The exact amount is confirmed when we hold your booking: it includes the resort's rate at the day's exchange rate plus the actual transfer costs. No hidden fees.
