A largely undeveloped island nation populated by hundreds of different ethnic groups, speaking over 800 indigenous languages among them – it’s fair to say Papua New Guinea is something of a mystery for travellers. The main island is split evenly with Indonesia, though the half belonging to Papua New Guinea certainly has its fair share of natural riches. Lush rainforest, mountain lakes and active volcanoes are all found inland, while coral reefs and white-sand beaches overlap on the coasts. For an unforgettable view, head to the Highlands where Mount Wilhelm, the highest mountain in Oceania, looms large. Or embark on an adventure along the the many trails of the Kokoda Track, which crosses the Owen Stanley Range in the south. The southern region is also home to Port Moresby, the country’s bustling capital. Here you’ll find architectural landmarks like the National Museum & Art Gallery, which exhibits old artefacts recovered from tribal groups around the nation. Despite its natural beauty, its these ethnic groups that make Papua New Guinea truly unique. Each one has its own proud traditions, from elaborate dresses to enthralling song and dance rituals. Go during one of the many local festivals to see it all on full display. The bulk of accommodation can be found Port Moresby, with a range of hotel and spa resorts and private apartments on offer. There’s also a selection of seaside resorts to the south and on the volcanic island of New Britain.

Guest review
I recently had the distinct pleasure of visiting Ela Beach, Papua New Guinea, and my stay was made even more delightful by the services at the hotel where I lodged. The warmth and rich cultural heritage of Papua New Guinea were justly mirrored in every aspect of my hotel stay, making the entire experience one to cherish.. The room offered a breathtaking view of the mesmerizing Ela Beach, which easily instilled a sense of serenity and unquantifiable peace, the pacific ocean view.. Additionally, the provision of modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and an incredibly comfortable bed was commendable, proving that the hotel prioritized guest comfort. The hotel staff deserves a special mention for their friendly and professional demeanor. They were always genuinely courteous, ready to assist with a smile, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. The service was prompt and efficient, from the check-in process to room service. Another highlight was the hotel's restaurant, where the culinary offerings were simply exquisite. I delighted in the rich palette of local dishes as well as international cuisine, all professionally prepared and beautifully presented. Ambient music and courteous restaurant staff only heightened this gastronomic experience. The hotel’s proximity to the beach provided effortless access to seaside indulgence. Easy walks along the serene beach during the golden hour became an enjoyable routine. Only one needs for improvement is the Gym, with an old equipment, not so maintained and even the AC's are not working, ending up you're sweating like inside a sauna.
