PAID CONTENT FOR MANGO TREE LODGE
Mango Tree Lodge CHRISTMAS ISLAND, AUSTRALIA
Cloaked in ancient rainforest, fringed by limestone cliffs and surrounded by some of the most pristine marine environments on Earth, Christmas Island is one of the planet’s natural treasures. Nestled between lush tropical jungle and the
sparkling Indian Ocean, Mango Tree Lodge provides an ideal base from which to explore this extraordinary destination. Located on the peaceful edge of Settlement, the lodge combines spacious accommodation with tropical gardens and easy access to the island’s most remarkable attractions. Christmas Island is renowned for its wildlife
spectacles, none more famous than the annual red crab migration. Each year, tens of millions of red crabs emerge from the rainforest and march towards the ocean, transforming roads, beaches and forest floors into a living river of crimson. It’s widely regarded as one of the greatest wildlife migrations on Earth. Yet the island’s wonders extend far beyond its
iconic crabs. More than 60% of Christmas Island is protected within a national park, safeguarding rare endemic species found nowhere else in the world.
Many of the unique island bird species can be seen nesting just metres from the lodge. This includes the elegant Christmas Island frigatebird and the elusive Christmas Island flying fox. Travellers can also discover hidden waterfalls and freshwater terraces tucked in the jungle. Beneath the waves lies another world entirely.
Christmas Island sits at the meeting point of major ocean currents, creating exceptional diving and snorkelling conditions. Whale sharks visit the island’s waters seasonally, while vibrant coral reefs, dramatic underwater drop-offs and hundreds of fish species make the surrounding ocean a paradise for divers, underwater photographers and nature-lovers alike. The island’s multicultural heritage adds another
dimension to the experience. Chinese, Malay and European influences combine to create a unique local culture expressed through colourful festivals, welcoming communities and a vibrant food scene. Local restaurants serve everything from Malaysian curries and Chinese specialities to freshly caught fish and tropical fruits grown in the island’s fertile soils.
