Pikaia Lodge

The Galápagos Islands · Ecuador

Ultra Premier

Pikaia Lodge

Independent (Relais & Châteaux) · Highland eco-lodge (14 rooms) · Santa Cruz highlands, atop an extinct volcanic cone

A spare, contemporary lodge of fourteen rooms set on its own giant-tortoise reserve in the Santa Cruz highlands, the only hotel in the archipelago with private wild-tortoise land. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the crater and the sea beyond; the infinity pool, spa and yacht-supported day excursions make it a land base of real conviction.

Why we recommend it

The standout land stay for travellers who want a fixed base of architectural calm rather than a moving cabin.
