Fly Fishing at Astove Atoll – A Premier Destination for Anglers

Astove Atoll stands unrivaled as the ultimate destination for catching giant trevally (GTs) on the flats in the Indian Ocean. Its unique shallow lagoon, surrounded by dramatic sheer drop-offs, creates an extraordinary fishing experience unlike anywhere else. With a carefully managed fishing season from January to late March, the atoll welcomes a maximum of six anglers at a time, prioritizing sustainability and conservation.

The lagoon serves as a haven for both juvenile and trophy-sized fish, thriving in its shallow white sand flats. While Astove is famed for its massive GTs, it also offers endless opportunities to target bonefish, permit, bluefin trevally, triggerfish, barracuda, and milkfish. Just meters from the flats, the offshore waters provide thrilling challenges against yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, and sailfish. Astove Atoll delivers a truly unparalleled fly fishing adventure for anglers seeking both excitement and exclusivity.

Accommodation at Astove Atoll – Where Comfort Meets Untouched Wilderness

Astove Island, uninhabited since 1969, offers a truly wild and remote fishing experience. At the heart of this untouched paradise lies the newly renovated Coral House, a charming retreat designed to blend comfort with the island’s natural beauty. Surrounding a serene central courtyard, the Coral House features six inviting rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, providing a relaxed and intimate stay in one of the world’s most remote destinations.

What makes the Coral House truly unique is its authentic preservation. Little has changed since it was originally built, allowing guests to step back in time and experience the simple yet enchanting lifestyle of the Veevers-Carter family, the island’s former coconut farmers and sole inhabitants. Here, modern comfort and historical charm come together to create an unforgettable accommodation experience.
