Pikaia Lodge

Designed for the physically active eco-adventure traveler seeking close contact with the unique natural wonders of the Galapagos Islands – while enjoying the highest level of comfort and services in a remote, eco-sensitive location – the Pikaia Lodge promises an ideal stay in the enchanting Galapagos Islands.

Located near the center of Santa Cruz Island, itself in the center of the Galapagos archipelago, the lodge is situated on 31 hectares of property that rise to a 450 meters above sea level – a transition zone that provides panoramic views of the surrounding sunny, arid savanna and the lush tropical mist forest of the volcanic highlands. Due to this central location in the archipelago, the lodge is close to, secluded white sandy beaches and wildlife sites of the most interesting islands of the Galapagos, thus making it the perfect jumping-off point for daily land and sea tours on the lodge’s private yacht.

The 14 rooms and villas at Pikaia Lodge provide some of the most spectacular views of the Galapagos, incorporating mountains, forests, volcanoes and the sea. Lie on a daybed by the pool and absorb the scenery. Then further unwind with a purifying body massage in the spa. Completing this inviting package, the Pikaia Lodge has its own giant tortoise reserve as well as a beautiful pool, a gourmet restaurant, and a bar.
