About Yad Ma'u State of Palau
One of the sixteen states in the Republic of Palau, Yademaw State is located in the southeastern part of the island of Koror, covering an area of about 19 square kilometers with a population of about 5,000 people, making it one of the most densely populated states in Palau. The state is close to Palau's capital city, Ngirumudu, and has a well-developed infrastructure and convenient transportation network.
Geographical and Cultural Features
The terrain of Yad Ma'au is predominantly hilly, with more than 80% forest cover and rich coral reef ecosystems in the surrounding waters. Unique Palauan traditions and customs, such as baie (traditional wood carving) craft and canoe making, are preserved in the area. The annual Yademaw Cultural Festival, held in April, is an important event showcasing traditional dance, music and crafts.
Economy and Tourism Resources
The state's economy is dominated by tourism and government services, with several resorts and dive centers. Notable attractions include the ruins of a World War II-era Japanese communication station and the Ngerderar Water Bay mangrove ecoregion. Visitors can experience marine activities such as snorkeling and sea fishing, or visit a traditional bai (meeting house) to learn about local history.
Transportation and Infrastructure
Connected to the main island via the Koror Babeldaob Bridge, the Palau International Airport is only a 20-minute drive away. With hospitals, schools and shopping centers, the state has one of the highest levels of convenience among Palau's states.
