BUILDING NO HIGHER THAN THE TALLEST COCONUT TREE

The buildings within the resort are designed in harmony with the surrounding natural environment, based on the founding president’s concept of “Don’t build anything taller than the palm trees.”
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 590 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

Palau Pacific Resort harnesses abundant solar energy through our solar power generation system. Our solar panels, displayed prominently in the lobby, allow guests and staff to monitor real-time power output. This initiative helps reduce CO₂ emissions, mitigating the progression of global warming and combating sea level rise—a critical threat to Palau’s iconic Rock Islands.

Circular Economy Initiative

In collaboration with the Koror State Recycling Center, we operate a comprehensive glass recycling program that transforms used glass bottles into new beverage containers such as beer mugs for guest use. Additionally, organic waste generated daily at the resort is collected by the recycling center and processed into organic fertilizer, which we utilize in maintaining our resort gardens. Through these initiatives, we achieve true resource circularity.
