Luxury in the Wilderness

Gaze out over kilometres of uninhabited coastline from your bed as seabirds soar past at arm’s length and parrotfish cruise the reef below. With every panoramic glass panel, stone bench top and Italian bathroom tile carried in and assembled by hand, each visionary eco-chalet conjures the ultimate paradox of elegant luxury, completely immersed in nature.

Previously all-inclusive, each of Swell Lodge’s two stunning eco-chalets are now available to book as accommodation-only stays from which to explore the island at your leisure.

Christmas Island

A LOST WORLD

Fly to one of Australia’s most remote islands and discover an astonishing, wildlife-filled landscape. Home to secluded turtle-nesting beaches, rare and unusual birds, world-class snorkelling and diving, jungle waterfalls, blowholes and our famous red crabs – Christmas Island is a beautifully safe, rejuvenating Lost World to explore. We recommend hiring a car and following one of our suggested itineraries to get the most from your stay.

Virgin Australia flies from Perth on Tuesdays and Fridays (3.5 hours).
