Pacific Island Paradises

Accessible only by boat transfer, it is an ideal destination for couples and those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Privacy and exclusivity Built entirely using natural materials from the surrounding environment, the building that accommodates guests has only eight rooms to guarantee privacy and exclusivity. Each room is cooled by the lazy whir of ceiling fans, reminiscent of an earlier time, with fresh flowers strewn romantically across the beds by the friendly, attentive staff. There is a communal shower room as well as a toilet room conveniently located adjacent to the building. Take time exploring Explore the beauty of Palau with a range of excursions. Enjoy kayaking and sailing among the famed Rock Islands, uninhabited and shaped like giant, jungle-covered limestone mushrooms, riddled with sea caves, marine tunnels, mangrove lagoons, and secluded white sand tropical beaches. Take time to explore the hiking tracks that meander through the lush jungle. Fresh and local fare The resort boasts an outdoor dining area where guests enjoy set menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
