Time for a very special place.
Time away from the everyday, time in nature, time in the water and time to experience a destination that feels a world apart.
The main Sanctuary promotion closes this Sunday, 21st June. As a Travel Associates advisor, you then have one exclusive additional place that continues to 30th June.
Room-Res The Sanctuary - A Very Special Time
How you can win
There are 7 places available through the main Sanctuary promotion, and those all close on Sunday, 21st June.
As part of the Travel Associates extension, there is also 1 additional exclusive place available only to you. This is the only winner pathway that continues beyond 21st June, with paid booking revenue counting until 30th June.
Here are four ways to win your place.
Travel Associates' exclusive spot. An additional winner spot has been reserved exclusively for Travel Associates.
This place will be awarded to the advisor with the highest paid booking revenue during the qualifying period ending 30th June 2026. This is the only winner route that remains open after Sunday, 21st June.
One spot will go to the Palau Booking Champion - Go after the top spot by booking the highest TTV to Palau during the main promotion period. Finish out in front by Sunday, 21st June and the place is yours, along with a Platinum Tier upgrade to make the win feel even better.
One spot will go to the Palau Content Champion. This is the easiest way to put yourself in the mix without relying only on bookings. Create a quote, share a quote, or post Palau content on your chosen social channel, then email your activity to palau@room-res.com so it can be counted.
All qualifying activity for this winner route must be received by Sunday, 21st June.
The remaining 5 spots will be awarded through the Room-Res Booking Champion draw. Every 20 confirmed and paid bookings earns you an entry into the draw, with no cap on how many entries you can build. The more bookings you make by Sunday, 21st June, the more chances you give yourself of being there.
This draw closes with the main promotion on Sunday, 21st June.
Winners will be contacted directly and announced after the promotion closes.

Your Sanctuary Awaits
The Sanctuary: Palau is not your usual reward trip.
This is a hosted escape built around two incredible sides of one unforgettable destination. Think remote island beauty, pristine water, rich marine life, and the kind of scenery that makes you stop mid-sentence and take it all in.
Sunrise to Sunset
Your Sanctuary journey in Palau unfolds across two distinct stays, giving you the chance to experience different sides of this extraordinary destination from the moment you arrive.
Your first four nights
You’ll begin at Palau Sunrise Seaview Landison Retreat, where ocean views, daily breakfast, and a slower rhythm set the tone for the start of your stay. This is your sunrise chapter, and the perfect place to settle into Palau time.
Your final four nights
Then it’s on to Palau Pacific Resort, where beachfront luxury, unforgettable sunsets, and a different side of the destination await. With daily breakfast and a curated mix of experiences still to come, this is the perfect second chapter to round out the week.
What to expect
Across the trip, expect a mix of sea time, land time, air time, and the kind of moments that make Palau such a special place to experience properly. Full day-to-day details are still being finalised, with more exciting updates to come.
Pristine Paradise Palau
Some destinations are easy to describe. Palau is the kind you feel.
This is a place of extraordinary water, rich marine life, dramatic natural beauty, and a calm that instantly feels far removed from the everyday. It is pristine in the truest sense, which is exactly what makes it so compelling for clients seeking something genuinely special.
That is why we’re proud to have Palau Visitors Authority at the heart of this year’s Sanctuary. As the destination partner behind the campaign, they are helping bring Palau to life for agents now. They will continue to be a valuable source of insight, inspiration, and support well beyond the promo itself.
Your Palau journey starts with Qantas
We’re proud to have Qantas joining The Sanctuary: Palau as a supporting partner.
Founded in the Queensland outback in 1920, Qantas has grown to become Australia’s largest domestic and international airline, flying millions of people around the world each year. Exceptional Australian hospitality awaits from the moment you step on board, making the journey to Palau feel every bit as special as the destination itself.
With direct services from Brisbane to Koror, Qantas makes getting there easier, giving you and your clients a more direct path to one of the Pacific’s most naturally extraordinary escapes.
Two stays, from sunrise to sunset
This year’s Sanctuary is built around two distinct sides of Palau, and two stays that bring the journey to life from beginning to end.
You’ll start on the sunrise side, where the pace feels slower, the scenery feels untouched, and every morning feels like a proper reset. Then, as the trip unfolds, you’ll move into the sunset chapter, where the views get broader, the atmosphere shifts, and the whole experience takes on a different kind of magic.
It is one destination, seen two ways. More contrast, more beauty, and more of what makes Palau such an unforgettable reward.
Palau Sunrise Seaview Landison Retreat
Your first chapter begins here.
Set against the calmer, more peaceful side of the journey, Palau Sunrise Seaview Landison Retreat is all about easing in and taking it all in. This is where The Sanctuary starts to work its magic, with open views, a slower rhythm, and the kind of setting that makes you feel a long way from the everyday from the moment you arrive.
Palau Pacific Resort
Then comes the sunset side of the story.
Palau Pacific Resort brings a different energy to the experience, more iconic, more expansive, and every bit as memorable. It is the perfect second act for a reward trip like this, giving you the chance to experience another side of Palau and finish on a high in one of the destination’s best-known settings.
Every detail considered
Breakfast and dinner are included each day, so you can settle in, enjoy the experience, and make the most of every moment without overthinking a thing. Along the way, there’ll be a mix of hosted experiences and time to enjoy Palau at your own pace.
There’s space to explore, space to switch off, and space to take it all in properly. Some personal extras, drinks, and meals will sit outside the inclusions, but the heart of the experience has been taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy the journey from sunrise to sunset.
Ready to Earn Your Place in The Sanctuary?
There is still plenty to play for, but the dates now matter.
All main Sanctuary winner routes and bonus rewards close on Sunday, 21st June. After that, the Travel Associates Exclusive Spot is the only remaining winner pathway, with paid booking revenue continuing to count until 30th June.
So if you are still building toward one of the main Sanctuary places, now is the time to act. And if you are focused on the exclusive Travel Associates spot, you have a little longer to keep going.
