With more than 300 islands, aqua lagoons, a pristine reef system and overwater bungalows, Palau has been touted as a Maldives right on our doorstep.
For the first time in its 53-year history, Nauru Airlines has launched direct flights from Australia to Palau, making this Pacific paradise, which most Australians can’t find on a map, accessible by a six-hour flight from Brisbane.
The good news for visitors in this destination – 650 kilometres north-east of Papua New Guinea – is that you can feast on the likes of fresh fish and Japanese fare for relatively reasonable prices outside the resorts. Even better, along with no traffic lights, there are no franchises, lending a certain charm to this Micronesian mystery.
Four Seasons, which already has the luxury yacht Four Seasons Explorer Palau in its waters, also has plans to build a new resort. Ruluked concedes Palau can be expensive for Australians due to the exchange rate with the US dollar, but expects the addition of more tourism experiences in the future to drive expenses down.
