"The Villages"
of Christmas Island
This new fishing lodge was opened on the island
in June of 2006.
Located on pristine white sand Discovery
Beach, it overlooks the ever changing aqua waters of the atoll’s
lagoon. It’s location puts it only a short 5 - 10 minute
skiff ride to several large shallow easily waded flats, teeming
with bonefish, some in double-digit sizes.
“The Villages”, features 6 air-conditioned
double twin-bed bungalows, comfortably accommodates up to
12 anglers at a time. There is a private bathroom in each unit and
a porch facing Discovery Beach and lagoon. A “maneaba”,
a local name for the anglers gathering center, lies in the heart
of the complex, featuring a comfortable lounge and dining area,
all with elegant South Seas atmosphere. Locally flavored fish, meats
and fowl are prepared by an experienced local chef and served by
his trained staff.
The biggest advantage at The Villages is
that your boat meets you just a few steps from your bungalow. Anglers
are transported to the fishing in versatile South Pacific style,
sea-worthy skiffs to the many productive bonefish flats and to the
reef drop-offs for exciting light tackle tunas, travelly, wahoo,
rainbow runners and bonito. We have eliminated the use of pick-up
trucks, except for a few choice, ocean-side and shoreline flats,
so that anglers are able to maximize their valuable fishing time.
All of the guides are experienced and knowledgeable in all types
of fishing. They have been previously employed by other island facilities
and guided the area flats and outside reef waters for years.
