Accommodation

Taylor Tested & Approved s!

The Galapagos Safari Camp has a stylish central lodge perched on a hill with panoramic views from its spacious veranda. The open-plan interior draws the eye to the islands scattered on the horizon below. Relax in the lounge and bar, with their cozy fireplace. Savour the local and international dishes created by their creative chef with home-grown produce in the dining room.

 

Nine luxury tents are located closely below the central lodge. They are erected above the ground on wooden platforms and are sheltered by three protective layers, one specifically for the sun, another one for the rain and an inner sealed canvass shell forms the bedrooms. Their interiors are comfortable and spacious. The custom-made furniture was designed with comfort and elegance in mind. Twin beds join to become one comfortable queen, there are cupboards, a writing desk and a fan/heater for temperature control. The en-suite bathrooms are tastefully designed with hot power showers and flush toilets. All tents have a large balcony with a hammock and chairs from which to take in the enchanting view.

And then of course, the infinity pool is an ideal place for you to enjoy the nature and tranquility while taking a refreshing dip at the end of the day!
