Scalesia Galapagos Lodge

Set in the Galápagos Giant Tortoises Territory on the island of Santa Cruz, Montemar Eco Luxury Villas is a sanctuary for endemic giant tortoises, some of which you'll glimpse ambling about the surrounding grassland scattered with tropical fruit trees.

Located in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal, the Golden Bay Hotel & Spa is a modern and comfortable base from which to explore the enchanting islands of the Galapagos.

The hotel features 21 bright and spacious rooms that are flooded with natural light. Some offers views of the waterfront while others look out over the gardens. When you’re not out exploring, relax in the swimming pool or indulge in a spa treatment in the comfort of your hotel room.

The main restaurant offers traditional Ecuadorian cuisine alongside more international dishes, while the terrace snack bar is the perfect spot to enjoy a freshly baked pizza and a drink as the sun sets.

Pikaia Lodge is the only hotel in the Galápagos with its own private reserve. The lodge's central location in the archipelago allows for land-based and day cruise excursions through the natural wonders of the Galápagos aboard the lodge’s private 145-foot luxury yacht, M/Y Vision. This means that guests can explore nearby islands, secluded white sand beaches and diverse wildlife with short navigation times.

Iguana Crossing is the perfect place for those who want to experience the fascinating Galapagos Islands from the comfort of a luxury boutique hotel, or to end their cruise with a few days on land.

Based on Isabela, the largest of the Galapagos Islands, on a beach of ice-white sand with six shield volcanoes forming the backdrop, Iguana Crossing sits adjacent to the wetlands from which the marine iguanas migrate to the sea, affording the hotel its name. There are fourteen comfortable rooms across two floors; all rooms have ocean or volcano views and many of the water-view rooms have balconies from which to imbibe the incredible scenery.

After a busy day exploring the area or a week of cruising, you can chill out in the rooftop Jacuzzi or soak up some sun on the terrace by the pool. Sip a zesty caipirinha in the airy bar and order some ocean-fresh ceviche in the restaurant; as much food as possible is sourced locally.

Aside from providing a healthy dose of relaxation, Iguana Cruise is also ideally positioned for day-trips around the unique Galapagos terrain, from a romantic sunset champagne picnic on the beach, to horseback riding up Isabela’s Sierra Negra volcano.
