Palau is a tiny island nation in the Pacific ocean with a population of 18,000. Located between the Philippines and Indonesia and considered one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World, Palau is as remarkable as it is remote, welcoming visitors to 500,000 square kilometers of protected marine territory, 340 emerald isles, and bucket-list dive, snorkel, surf and island adventures. Underwater caves and blue holes, ancient monoliths, dense jungle surrounds and 4,000 years of culture await. Four Seasons Explorer is 11-cabin a cruising resort and has been offering unrivalled experiences under water and on land in Palau since October 2023. Construction on a 50 villa resort on an island near the capital Koror is about to begin.
