The best accommodation on Christmas Island
Indulge Yourself
Fully-inclusive holiday with all meals, drinks, transport and flexible daily guided tours tailored to your interests, Swell Lodge is the world’s most exclusive eco-lodge featuring just two glass-fronted eco-chalets where you can wake up in Australia’s most unique, wildlife-filled National Park and gaze out over kilometres of uninhabited coastline from your bed, with seabirds soaring past and a private chef preparing gourmet cuisine using fresh and locally foraged ingredients. Far more than a hotel, a stay at Swell Lodge on Christmas Island is like nothing else on Earth.
Experience Paradise
Christmas Island rises from the sapphire-blue depths of the Indian Ocean and is blanketed by an emerald-green jungle, rich with rare and unusual birds, crabs and world-class snorkelling, diving and freediving. There's spectacular blowholes, secluded beaches, RAMSAR wetlands and more, making Swell Lodge the perfect place to escape and reconnect with nature, with your family, or with yourself.
Ultimate Privacy
Nestled in the jungle on the far side of one of Australia's most remote islands, with each eco-chalet hidden from the other and no one else in sight, Swell Lodge offers complete seclusion along with endless open vistas - a rare combination and the ultimate luxury in our busy, crowded world.
- The only eco-accommodation in any of Australia's federally-managed National Parks.
- Ideal for VIPs and celebrities looking to escape the spotlight and relax in privacy.
Private Chef
Every evening our private chef will prepare a gourmet 3-course meal for you using fresh, locally foraged ingredients right on your oceanfront deck as you enjoy sunset over the ocean.
- 3-Course dinners
- Gourmet picnic lunches
- Relaxed, self-serve breakfasts
- All drinks included
- Dietary needs accommodated

- Secluded beaches
- Snorkelling trips
- Jungle, wetland & waterfall walks
