About the Resort
The only luxury tented safari camp in the Galápagos
Galapagos Safari Camp is the only luxury tented safari camp in the islands — a family-owned, African-inspired camp on a highland farm on the rim of an extinct volcano on Santa Cruz, bordering the National Park where giant tortoises wander the grounds. Nine canvas safari tents stand on decks with hammock balconies, teak furniture and park-and-ocean views, two of them Family Safari Tents, alongside a three-bedroom Family Suite. A small infinity pool sits under endemic trees, a panoramic lodge and a Kids Club anchor the camp, and all-inclusive tailor-made safaris range from snorkelling with sea lions to flamingo lagoons and the Darwin Station — the most family-friendly base in the Galápagos.

★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Galapagos Safari Camp. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Galapagos
Pikaia Lodge
Pikaia Lodge is the most luxurious land lodge in the Galápagos — a carbon-neutral, contemporary lodge built atop two craters in a private giant-tortoise reserve in the Santa Cruz highlands, with ocean views on three sides. Fourteen keys run 61-square-metre rooms and 74-square-metre suites, one with a private plunge pool, behind floor-to-ceiling glass. A crater-rim infinity pool, the Sumaq spa and the Evolution Restaurant with a walk-in wine cellar anchor the lodge; full-board exploration programmes include land and yacht excursions aboard its own 100-foot M/Y Pikaia I — a land-based alternative to a cruise.
Galapagos
Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel
Finch Bay is the only beachfront hotel in the Galápagos — a National Geographic Unique Lodge on Santa Cruz, steps from Playa Los Alemanes across the bay from Puerto Ayora. Thirty-three neutral-palette rooms and suites include ocean-view Finch Bay Suites with hammock balconies and contemporary Evolution Suites. A beachside pool, a spa and an open-air restaurant sit by the sand, board runs flexibly from B&B to full-board, and the private Sea Lion Yacht handles day excursions. Carbon-neutral, it completes the Metropolitan Touring trio with Mashpi and Casa Gangotena.
Galapagos
Scalesia Lodge
Scalesia Lodge is a safari-style tented eco-lodge in the cloud-forest highlands of remote Isabela, the Galápagos' largest island, on the slopes of the Sierra Negra volcano. Sixteen canvas tents on raised platforms run around 53 square metres each, with a 23-square-metre private deck and forest-and-Pacific views. A modern lodge plates gourmet home cooking, and all-inclusive programmes run guided excursions to Sierra Negra, the Tintoreras and the Los Túneles lava tunnels. It is the only highland lodge base on Isabela — glamping immersed in nature.
