Where to Stay in Yap
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Yap
Accommodation Overview
Yap's accommodation is centred on Colonia and the nearby manta-themed resorts that cater to divers with boats, guides and packages. The Manta Ray Bay Hotel is the iconic dive base, with other resorts and guesthouses around the capital and lagoon. Staying near Colonia keeps you close to Mi'il Channel and the airport. The island's small size means dive sites are a short boat ride away, and many properties offer manta-focused dive plans.
