Christmas Island (Kiritimati), Kiribati

The Villages Lodge

SaltwaterKiritimati — Discovery Beach, Tabwakea

No website of its own; details from booking agents: this page is built from the agencies and other pages listed under Sources, not from the lodge's own website.

In business since 2006, this small cabin lodge stands on Discovery Beach at Tabwakea, a few kilometres north of London on the lagoon side of Kiritimati (Christmas Island), and you board the boats a few paces from your cabin. The fishing is all wading, on sand and coral flats, for bonefish first, with giant, bluefin and golden trevally and triggerfish as well. Guiding is one angler to one guide, every day.
