Start Island HoppingDescription
This small island was transformed into a private coconut plantation in 1968, and these days welcome just 12 guests per week to its shores. The inhabitants have the main aim of keeping the natural beauty of the island, including all of its flora and fauna, protected as well as they can. This is the true meaning of the word “nature”, and here you can enjoy a stunning, untouched island, around 1000 km from the main island of Mahé.

Description:
The small island of Astove is located around 1000 km south-west of Mahé, and belongs to a group of islands that is also called Astove, which also consists of the nearby island Charlotte. Here, visitors can enjoy Creole nature at its most pure and get to know the island, which will feel like a real desert island adventure. The island is inhabited by numerous exotic animals and plant species that are just waiting to be discovered. The beach, which is just a short distance from the estate, is also ideal for watersports such as snorkelling, diving, surfing, fly fishing, and kayaking, as well as calm walks along the sand. Meals are served in a communal dining room, or can also be served right on the beach itself.
The six individual double bedrooms of the estate are part of the main building, which was built in 1968 by the Veevers-Carter family, and offers a comfortable, spacious accommodation to its guests. The interior of the rooms offers an atmospheric mixture of Creole simplicity and influences from abroad. There is a cosy double bed in each room, which serves as the focus of each room. Adjacent to this you can find a bathroom with WC and shower. All in all, there is plenty of space to enjoy your well-earned rest! But if you’re looking for something a little more social, there are communal rooms where your meals will be served, as well as a lounge area with a TV, books, and newspapers where you can meet other guests if you want to.
The Astove Coral House resort is not a luxury resort with spa, jacuzzis, or champagne, but is rather more for those looking for an eco-friendly mixture of humanity and nature, unique to the Seychelles. All guests are welcome to enjoy the way of life of the resort, and leave their daily life far behind them for a while, far from the bustling, high-tech, consumer lifestyle many of us experience in our day-to-day life. The focus here is on nature, with the local animals and plant life serving as a highlight, along with the Creole way of life.
