Location
At the end of October 2018, Extra Divers Christmas Island officially opened the Divers Villa, a newly refurbished English colonial house on the stunning rocky coastline of Christmas Island. The Divers Villa is located in the heart of the settlement on Christmas Island, in a quiet environment. Several restaurants, shops and a supermarket are within walking distance. The Extra Divers centre can be reached by only 8-10 minutes’ walk along the coastal path.
The villa is the perfect accommodation for a romantic weekend by the sea or as a holiday home for a group. Of course, individual, private rooms are as well rented, sharing a common kitchen and dining area. For an additional 5th bedroom or larger groups, the Sea Spray Villa next to the Divers Villa can be rented.
Facilities
The wooden building was constructed in the mid-1930s. Next to it there is a service house (the Sea Spray Villa), which is connected by a covered walkway and can be rented as well. The villa is known on the island as Married Quarters 8 (MQ8) and is one of the last three prewar bungalows built by the Christmas Island Phosphate Company. The house was newly renovated in the summer of 2018 and decorated in a modern style. Guests enjoy a wonderful sea view all year round.
A large front and back yard stretches around the villa, with garden, outdoor facilities for BBQs and sunbathing. Tropical gardens line the house and offer treats such as papaya, coconuts, lemongrass, mint, lime and bananas, depending on the season. Each room has access to the open living, dining and kitchen area. A large colonial-style dining table seats eight people. In the middle of the large room there are two sofas for a get together after diving.
The kitchen is about 20 m² and is located next to the large living room. It is equipped with modern appliances and utensils, including a gas stove, electric cooker, coffee machine, toaster, fridge and freezer, dishwasher and microwave. In addition to the common areas in the villa, there are also a variety of outdoor garden areas ideal for dining, sunbathing or bird watching. Garden furniture, barbecue and sunbeds are also available.

In total, there are four bedrooms in the villa, which can sleep between 6 and 8 people:
