ASTOVE CORAL HOUSE

In 1968 Astove was occupied by the Veevers-Carter family who established a coconut plantation. They constructed a number of buildings including a large main house, chapel, store and accommodation for the workers. The small settlement they created has been renovated, and is now the basis of the accommodation used today. Surrounding a central courtyard, the Coral House has six charming and comfortable rooms.

Uninhabited since 1969, Astove makes for a wild experience. The key to the experience is how very little has been changed in the House, allowing guests a sense of how the Veevers-Carter family would have enjoyed the house. Guests will enjoy the attentive service as well as superb dining. The menu frequently comprises of a full English breakfast, a buffet or packed picnic lunch to enjoy on location, and a buffet dinner served in the indoor or outdoor dining area. The food is inspired by the traditional Seychellois Creole-cuisine with freshly caught fish being the key ingredient.

Evening sundowners are enjoyed most evenings at a beautiful spot on the beach, allowing everyone to gather and discuss the events of the day. With picture-perfect beaches, edged by palm trees and with not another soul in sight, Astove Atoll is wonderfully unique.

Astove forms part of the Aldabra Group of Atolls and is one of the most remote inhabited islands in Seychelles. To ensure that the atoll stays pristine, Astove Coral House only caters from six to 12 guests per week.
