PALAU PACIFIC RESORT, AN ECO-FRIENDLY ISLAND RETREAT
Nestled among 64 acres of lush tropical gardens with the Pacific Ocean caressing its pristine white sand beach, the Palau Pacific Resort is the ultimate tropical gateway in Micronesia. Our luxury resort in Palau is a one of the primary supporters of conservation effort to protect the island’s biodiversity for future generations. The resort contributes annually to various organizations and continues to promote eco-tourism activities. Read below to learn more about the eco-friendly practices at Palau Pacific Resort.
BUILDING NO HIGHER THAN THE TALLEST COCONUT TREE
Our 165-room resort was built to blend in seamlessly with our beautiful nature surroundings while respecting the environment, which is why no building is higher than the tallest coconut tree. The roofs are structured in the classic A-shape of the traditional Palauan men’s meeting house called “bai”.
MARINE LIFE RESERVE BY KOROR STATE LAW
Palau Pacific Resort’s Marine Sanctuary was established on December 2, 2002. The fringing reef sanctuary has a high biodiversity with over 566 species of marine life including algae, sea grass, coral, fish, and macro invertebrates. This protected sanctuary is home to several endangered species: the famous giant clam, the humphead parrotfish, the humphead wrasse and the hawksbill turtle.
PROTECTING WATER RESOURCES
Palau has had several dry seasons leading to water shortages and the need for increased conservation. To ensure an adequate and safe water supply, the resort maintains its own source of water from rainwater and deepwells. Water drawn from these sources are filtered, chlorinated, and stored in tanks that distribute the water to the entire resort.
TRANSPLANTING BABY GIANT CLAMS
Palau is home to seven species of clams out of nine species in the world. Guests can participate in the Baby Clam Planting at Palau Pacific Resort’s marine sanctuary during Earth Day or on special occasions. This is our effort to conserve clam species as well as provide a unique snorkeling experience for our guests.
SOLAR POWER GENERATION
In an effort to make the most of our natural resources, a solar module panel was installed at the resort in 2011 to start moving towards energy conservation. The solar panels currently provide electricity for the lobby area of Palau Pacific Resort.
COMPOSTING RAW GARBAGE
Every day, raw food garbage is picked up and sent to the Koror State’s compost recycling center where it is processed into pure soil. That new soil is later used for gardening throughout Palau Pacific Resort.
GUIDED NATURE WALK
Explore the Nature Trail whether on a guided tour or on your own. There are a variety of plants and bird sightings along the trail. Plants are important for food, shelter, medicine, arts and customary practices.
