Hotels in Koror

The main island of Palau, Koror is your gateway to some of the most extraordinary marine environments on the planet. While the town itself is a relaxed administrative hub, the real magic lies just offshore. Visitors come for the legendary Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO site of mushroom-shaped islets surrounded by crystal-clear water. Days are spent diving at Blue Corner, snorkeling in Jellyfish Lake, or kayaking through hidden marine lakes. Back on land, the Belau National Museum offers a deep look into local culture, and the compact downtown area along Koror's main road is lined with local shops and restaurants.

Koror suits adventurous travelers, from solo divers to families seeking a unique eco-holiday. The island is small, and most visitors stay in the hotels and guesthouses clustered along the main island, with Malakal Island—connected by bridge—being another popular area for waterfront accommodations. Getting around is easiest by rental car or taxi, as public transport is limited. Koror International Airport is the primary entry point, with short transfers to most hotels.

Accommodation here ranges from straightforward, diver-friendly hotels to a few upscale resorts. On HOTEVI, you'll find options like the oceanfront Palau Royal Resort, the centrally located Cove Resort Palau, the budget-conscious DW Motel, and the intimate, service-oriented Palau Central Hotel. Most properties focus on practicality and comfort, placing you conveniently for daily boat trips to the surrounding natural wonders.
