Hotels for diving holidays in Palau
Koror contains much of Palau’s visitor accommodation and services. Airai sits at the southern end of Babeldaob, includes the international airport and connects by road to Koror. Islands beyond this connected area, including Peleliu, require separate arrangements. Pick a base around the balance of marine activities and overland visits you want to make.
Stay near your dive departure
A hotel near a reef does not necessarily arrange diving. Confirm spaces with the operator and check how changes to diving plans are handled.
- The dive operator and departure point
- Equipment, certification and experience requirements
- Which dives are actually included in the price
The setting in Palau
A stay sold around diving or excursions may contain very different services from a room-only reservation. Compare the outings, equipment where supplied, meals and transport arrangements. Request a breakdown of any activity-related charges too. These details need confirmation for your particular programme, rather than being inferred from the general description of the package.
Ask your boat operator whether it collects from the exact hotel address before choosing a room on proximity to Koror alone.
