Where to Stay in Christmas Island
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Christmas Island
Accommodation Overview
Accommodation on Christmas Island is limited but comfortable, ranging from the iconic Christmas Island Resort casino complex to smaller guesthouses and self-contained apartments. Most lodging is concentrated around Flying Fish Cove and Settlement. Given the island's remoteness, advance booking is essential, particularly during the red crab migration season when visitor numbers peak. Several properties offer ocean views and easy access to dive sites. The island's small scale means everything is within a short drive, and many dive operators provide accommodation pickup services.
