7 Best Family Accommodations in Majuro & the Marshall Islands

Ajeltake Beach House is one of the rare beachfront escapes on the Marshallese mainland, offering genuine seclusion and a proper sandy shoreline well away from the bustle of Majuro.

There are four self-contained units spread across the property, each fully equipped like your own private apartment. You get a modern kitchen, dining area, living room, large-screen TV, 24-hour WiFi, hot water, air conditioning, bed linen and towels. The only thing not provided is food and drinks, so come prepared for self-catering.

The two larger units, "Rushing Water One" and "Rushing Water Two", are apartment-style and can sleep up to six people, with one bedroom plus space for extra beds in the living area. The "Patio View" sits on the second floor with its own elevated outlook. Then there's the over-the-water "Penthouse", a compact one-to-two person unit perched above the water, reached by a walkway out over the sea.

The property is private and secure, with an on-site caretaker next door should you need anything during your stay.

A contemporary stay in Majuro, Lojkar Apartments & Hotel is ideal for families who prefer to take full control of their holiday.

Each "Two-Bedroom Unit" sleeps up to four guests (with a maximum of five adults), featuring one room with a queen bed and a second with two single beds. Every unit comes with a full kitchen, a bathroom, a living and dining area, a refrigerator, a dining table, free WiFi and a smart TV, making it a genuinely home-away-from-home setup.

Scheduled housekeeping is included, and there's a paid on-site laundry service where loads are weighed and fully folded for you. Free airport pick-up and drop-off is also on offer, which is a welcome touch. The property has eight units in total, with additional overflow accommodation occasionally available, so it's always worth inquiring.

Lojkar also runs a car rental service through Pacific Wheels, which you can learn more about in the 10 Best Car Rentals on Majuro LINK#T008.

Eneko Island Getaway is a true off-the-grid island escape with a three-bedroom cottage ideal for an affordable stay in paradise!

Eneko, managed by Hotel Robert Reimers, is just a 20-minute boat ride from Majuro.

The island offers three standard rooms in one cottage and one standalone beachfront cottage, all simple but functional: fan, beds, shower and sink. There's a central kitchen, and a caretaker is always on-site, so you're never entirely on your own (just bring all your own food and drinks, and yes, we do mean all of it).

No hot water and no guaranteed WiFi, though if you have a local SIM card, the network should reach you. The island is also popular with day trippers, but nothing beats the feeling of having the island to yourself once the crowd leaves.

The best snorkelling is on the lagoon side, right out front. The island is also a conservation area, so fishing from shore and breaking coral are strictly off-limits.

If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime luxury family getaway, Beran Island Resort is one of the most remote and exclusive private island experiences not only in the Marshall Islands but maybe even on Earth.

Open from November to April, the resort's eight air-conditioned rooms (four upstairs, four downstairs) are fitted with king beds by Casper, organic linens by Coyuchi, ensuite bathrooms and oversized ceiling fans by Haiku. A 28-kilowatt solar array and 20-kilowatt wind turbines keep the power running around the clock, so you'll never want for comfort this far from civilisation.

The heart of the resort is a shared kitchen and living area where Chef Mango prepares three fresh meals daily, with snacks and coffee available at all hours. All meals, house wines, spirits and beers are included in the stay, and specialty diets are welcomed without fuss.

Wraparound decks offer panoramic ocean views, ideal for watching the swell build over morning coffee before heading out on the water. And getting out on the water is what your stay is all about with access to surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, kitesurfing, wing foiling and more, all included in the price and all within reach of the island's dock or a short boat transfer away.

For families that don't mind sharing a room a twin room with two generously sized single beds (each closer to a small double) or spreading across multiple rooms, the Marshall Islands Resort (or, as locals call it, "MIR") offers a convenient option to relax, eat and play in Majuro.

Rooms come in three types: "Single", "Double" and "Suite", all with ensuite bathrooms. The "Suite" steps things up with cooking facilities, making it a solid pick for those wanting a little more independence during their stay.

On-site, you'll find the Enra Restaurant and Dock Bar. There's also a bakery, spa and a local market operating within the resort grounds, though these are independently run businesses.

Free WiFi is available for all guests (request a voucher at the front desk), and laundry service is offered in-room. Items such as hair dryers, ironing boards and irons are available upon request. An airport shuttle is available for a small fee per transfer.

For those keen to get out on the water, Raycrew Dive operates from the resort. The resort also offers car hire (SUV only, with a limited fleet of four to five vehicles), so book ahead if you're planning to get behind the wheel and explore.

Family-owned and operated and set up with multiple options for families, Hotel Robert Reimers is an easy choice in Majuro.

With 37 rooms across a range of categories, from "Economy Rooms" through to a "Bungalow Suite", there's a comfortable option for most. Paid WiFi and a same-day laundry service keep practical needs covered.

The on-site Tide Table Restaurant and Lounge is open to hotel guests and outside visitors alike, serving everything from fresh tuna sashimi and sautéed fish to steaks, pasta and pizza, with themed dinner nights running throughout the week. The lounge stays open later in the evenings, too.

Beyond the hotel itself, Hotel Robert Reimers also offers day trips to nearby Eneko Island as well as car rentals for guests wanting to explore Majuro at their own pace.

If you're a small family craving sun, sea and sand, Tuwaakin Beach Apartments is set among lush bush in Ajeltake with direct sand access right from your deck.

Built around a pre-fabricated tiny home, the apartment has a compact but thoughtfully fitted-out interior, with modern fittings and fixtures throughout. It's the kind of place that leans into the tiny home aesthetic rather than apologising for it.

The real draw is the setting. Step outside onto the furnished deck and you're met with genuine beach views, with steps leading straight down onto the sand.

There are two bedrooms: the master has a double bed and a TV, while the second has a single bed. The full kitchen comes equipped with a stovetop, fridge and microwave, and the apartment also includes air conditioning and free WiFi.

Come prepared for a self-sufficient stay; Tuwaakin is a quiet, get-away-from-it-all kind of spot.
