Just two luxury ecoLodges

Swell Lodge

Like nothing else on Earth

You’ll never forget opening the door to your eco-lodge for the first time!
The wow-factor of that jaw-dropping, uninterrupted ocean-view, through the ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall glass. Inexorably drawn towards it, at first, you’ll scarcely notice the stunning interior, glass sculptures, stone bench tops, luxurious king-sized bed or Italian-tilled ensuite bathroom as you step in awe onto the expansive deck.

Our eco-lodges are unique. Nowhere else in the world can you enjoy such luxury and privacy, watching ocean swell roll in and break onto kilometres of wild, uninhabited coastline, with seabirds soaring past at eye-level checking you out. Then comes your private chef, sunset over the ocean and day after magical day of complimentary tours sharing the highlights of this mind-blowing paradise, filled with natural wonders. Swell Lodge is the best accomodation on Australia’s Christmas Island, and is perfect for a wilderness getaway or amazing honeymoon destination.

Private Chef

Staying in our luxury ecolodge isn’t just about the location, it also means our chef will prepare gourmet 3-course meals for you using fresh and locally foraged ingredients, usually right on your oceanfront deck as you enjoy sunset over the ocean. The perfect relaxing end to your day!

Wine, beer and even gin & tonic (with a squeeze of wild jungle lime, perhaps?) is all on the house, as is a self-serve breakfast and the beautiful picnic lunches for your daily guided tours.

“The resident chef never failed to impress every single day with quality and variety. Could not fault a thing – one highlight being his 36-hour pork belly, or maybe the tuna ceviche, or the choc-whisky ice cream?”

– Sharyn G

★ 
He’s truly a world class chef and we thoroughly enjoyed his food creations! Excellent!”

Wilderness Luxury

Inside the National Park on the far, uninhabited coast of one of Australia’s most facinating islands sits our peaceful, luxury ecolodge. 

Each lodge is accessed by a lush 4WD track followed by it’s own private 80m walking trail which leads through the jungle (alive with Christmas Island’s famous red crabs and exotic forest birds) to the edge of the Indian Ocean .

From this incredible clifftop location you’ll be able to experience the unique wildlife of Christmas Island. Boobies nest on the ledge just out the front of the ecolodge, frigatebirds soar majestically past and goshawks even perch on the ocean-deck railing from where you can usually see vibrant blue parrotfish swimming on the reef, through the waves. Pods of dolphins pass by, tuna jump and the hypnotic ocean swell, clouds and light are forever changing. Our ecolodge isn’t just a splace to stay, it’s an experience! 

    “Absolutely Remarkable”

    Every piece of this astonishing, solar-powered wilderness escape has been carried in and assembled by hand in the middle of one of Australia’s most amazing National Parks, on Christmas Island.

    Swell Lodge has been awarded Ecotourism Australia’s highest level of certification ‘Advanced Ecotourism’ and ‘Climate Action Business’ reserved for exemplary operators for our ecological sustainability, natural area management and provision of authentic experiences.

    We even have a ‘crab-safe vehicle‘ to use during crab migration!
