    DESIGN & ECOLOGY IN THE GALAPAGOS

    On Santa Cruz Island, hidden away in an isolated nature reserve where giant tortoises live and nestled on the edge of an extinct volcano crater, Pikaia Lodge offers the incredible opportunity to explore the «last Eden on Earth» in both an ecological and privileged way. The 29 rooms and suites, with their sober and refined design, all feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking green coastal hills, and some have a private balcony and plunge pool, ideal for relaxing in complete privacy after a day of excursions. At the restaurant, inspiration and innovation come to life through a unique fusion of Ecuadorian and international flavours. Two lounges complete the experience: the Lobby Lounge, ideal for having a drink facing the sea, and the Homo Sapiens Lounge, which houses a fine collection of books and films about the Galapagos Islands, as well as temporary exhibitions on local history.
