When we planned our trip to Palau, I was very keen to stay at the beautiful Palau Pacific Resort, which is the best luxury resort close to Koror. This luxurious beachfront property is nestled within 64 acres of lush tropical gardens and sits on a private white-sandy beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Location wise too, this resort is perfect – close to town as well as the boat piers so that day trips in and around the Rock Islands is very easy.

Stay

The resort has various style of accommodation options from beach front rooms and suites to more luxe styles at the like lagoon pool villas and overwater villas too, all designed in the traditional Palauan style. The lagoon villas and overwater villas are located at The Pristine side of Palau Pacific Resort ( more like a small resort within a resort ). Each accommodation includes a private patio or balcony, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and complimentary Wi-Fi. We stayed 2 nights in a beach front suite and 2 nights in a lagoon pool villa so we could experience both sides of the resort. The overwater bungalows and lagoon pool villas provide direct access to the ocean, offering an immersive experience of Palau’s marine environment. Here are some photos from different accommodation styles.
