Spa hotels 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.
Look for rest in the small details
Spa can describe very different facilities. Ask for the treatment menu and opening times before booking a package. For a restful stay, also consider how close your room is to the restaurant, pool and entertainment areas.
- Whether the spa is on site or provided externally
- Which treatments are included and which cost extra
- Appointment availability during your stay
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.

Two starting points, different rhythms
Koror
Koror provides a base for services, dining and many of Palau’s boat outings. Accommodation is spread across connected islands, offering both town and waterside settings. Look at the journey to your activity operator and opportunities to eat nearby before comparing views or facilities, especially when several days will follow the same excursion routine.
Airai
Airai contains the international airport at the southern end of Babeldaob and offers an alternative to central Koror. Its cultural heritage and location on the island create reasons to stay beyond flight convenience. For several nights, however, compare the journeys to your marine activities and dining options as carefully as the airport transfer.
When it is time to book
On the booking website, enter the guests and their exact dates. Read the complete rate, room name and displayed conditions. Save the confirmation, and use the booking website’s customer service for changes to an existing booking.
