Uninhabited since 1969, Astove makes for a wild experience. To ensure that the atoll stays pristine, Astove Coral House only caters from six to 12 guests per week. 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, forms the basis of the accommodation used today. Surrounding a central courtyard, the Coral House has six charming and comfortable rooms. With en-suite bathrooms, the recently refurbished rooms offer relaxed accommodation in one of the most remote locations in the world. The key to the experience is how very little has been changed in the Coral House allowing guests a sense of how the Veevers-Carter family would have enjoyed the house.
