Dolphin Bay Resort and Peleliu Divers

Family owned and operated, Dolphin Bay Resort is designed with spectacular views and very comfortable lodging. It is located just a half-day boat ride off Palau’s main islands on the sleepy and historic island of Peleliu. All buildings have been designed with natural materials that blend well into the quiet secluded setting of tropical trees and flowers. Here local hospitality, island atmosphere, and thrilling adventures are combined for a memorable experience.

The island style open-air restaurant features all day dining service, with a wide selection of Asian, international and local foods. At the bar you can sample the locally made beer, wine and rum, or try a tropical fruit juice.

Bicycles are available for guests to explore the island, or you can use one of the kayaks to paddle to the small island in front of the resort for snorkeling. Relax in island-style bungalows, hammocks and beach chairs. Read and sunbathe on the private beach, take a stroll in the tropical garden, or just enjoy the ocean as it meets the jungle in a stunning natural setting. Watch spectacular sunsets from your own porch, or over drinks at the bar, just a few steps from the beach.

Dolphin Bay Resort was named for the friendly family of spinner dolphins that live a short distance off shore, just beyond the reef. You may encounter them during a boat trip.

Set among natural coconut and palm trees, 7 bungalows are surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden which provides secluded privacy for every guest. Each bungalow offers a comfortable queen bed or twin beds, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, beautiful interior tropical hardwood walls and floors, a private balcony offering full ocean views, an indoor table and chairs, a modern western-style bathroom with hot shower, and a fully stocked mini-bar. The mini-bar is restocked daily with a choice of beers, soft drinks, fruit juices, and bottled water. Beach chairs and hammocks are only a few steps away for your island style relaxation.

Peleliu Divers has been operating since 1996. It is the first dive shop on the island and Palauan owned and operated by Godwin Sadao, one of Palau's most knowledgeable divers and boat captains, and his staff of experienced dive guides. They have 2 fully equipped dive boats for daily dive trips, with a maximum of 8-9 divers on a boat.

The great advantage for divers and snorkelers staying at Dolphin Bay Resort is that they are so close to all the famous diving and snorkeling areas. Almost all of Palau's best known dive sites are located within a twenty-minute boat ride from the resort. For example, it takes less than 20 minutes to reach the Blue Corner and Blue Holes, about 10 minutes to travel to the German Channel and Big Drop-off, and 5 minutes to travel by boat to the Peleliu Corner, Peleliu Express, and Peleliu Drop-off.
