5 Best Nauru Hotels to Stay in 2025

Despite Nauru being one of the world’s smallest and least-visited countries, the remote island in the South Pacific is getting more recognition as a destination worth visiting.

That said, Nauru hotels offer comfortable and convenient stays with an authentic island experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

While Nauru is a fairly closed nation, there are a few select hotels that cater to foreign tourists and other short-term visitors. However, there are no luxury hotels in Nauru, nor are there any hotels offering all-inclusive packages.

Though the numbers are low, around 200 tourists visit Nauru annually, with the number expected to increase as Nauru immigration policies become more streamlined and the island promotes itself as a unique tourist destination.

Booking hotel rooms in Nauru typically requires reaching out to the hotel directly through their website or Facebook, with payment made via wire transfer, as options are limited and rarely appear on Booking, Trivago, Expedia, and other established online booking sites.

Whether Nauru is a good holiday destination depends on the type of experience you’re looking for. In terms of safety, Nauru is safe, with petty crime almost non-existent. However, visitors should be prepared for limited infrastructure, few restaurant options, and minimal entertainment compared to more popular destinations that make up the Asian and Caribbean tourism industries, such as Thailand and the Dominican Republic.

You may not be able to visit Nauru, as most foreign nationals require a visa to enter the country. To get a visitor’s visa, you must apply through the Nauru Immigration Department.
