Accommodation in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea holiday packages are perfect for those who need to get away from it all, and we do mean "all." When you book one of the hotels in Papua New Guinea, you’ll be on your way to the world’s most alluringly under-explored countries. Reservations for rooms here give you the chance to discover true human diversity as well as a new animal species, visit some of World War II’s top battlegrounds, and learn the legends of the headhunters and cannibals as you brave the skull caves touring Tawali.

You’ll be just miles from the equator, but our special Papua New Guinea hotel deals put you at the foot of mountains high enough for snow and some very unusual equatorial glaciers. Travelers naturally find their way to photograph the country’s always steamy, active volcanoes, but the rainforest here rates as some of the planet’s most fascinating natural habitats. Papua New Guinea is the green jungle cousin to nearby Australia’s sandy desert outback. Your fishing, canoeing, and kayaking options are endless.

Expedia’s cheap hotel deals in Papua New Guinea get you an access pass to discount prices on excursions to the unparalleled coral reefs that surround the country. The spectacular reefs are dreamlands for scuba divers. Rare fish in every color of the rainbow and quirky tropical seahorses are commonplace here. Because many of the area’s outlying islands were never attached to the Australian mainland, a number of animals evolved to thrive on one tiny island but nowhere else in the world.

Many vacationers take advantage of a cheap Papua New Guinea hotel deal to see the Southern Highlands, known as the Papuan Wonderland, and one of the world’s most diverse and well-preserved cultural regions. Limestone towers soar above the fertile valleys. Tours to the 100-meter high Wasi Waterfalls and expeditions to stone-age caves leave frequently from Papua New Guinea hotels, and the Mendi Market is chock full of authentic folk arts and crafts. Numerous traditional cultures, including the Huli and Duna Wigmen, famous for their elaborate body art and ceremonial dancing, flourish in the Highlands.

You can trust Expedia to lead you to some of the best rates on Papua New Guinea flights, hotel deals and car rentals. Whether you are interested in undisrupted jungle, pristine rivers, and rumors of monsters, or bird-watching, surfing, snorkeling, and learning about the customs of people whose heritage is wildly different from your own, Papua New Guinea holds a special treasure for you.
