On the rim of an extinct volcanic crater on Santa Cruz in the Galapagos, Pikaia Lodge is a Relais & Chateaux eco-lodge with rooms and suites, an infinity pool, a spa and a private tortoise reserve, with its own yacht for island cruises.
Pikaia Lodge sits on the rim of an extinct volcanic crater at 450 metres on Santa Cruz Island in the central Galapagos, on a 31-hectare property with its own private wild giant-tortoise reserve, in the transition zone between savanna and mist forest. It has rooms and suites across four categories, from terrace and balcony rooms to a garden suite and a pool suite with a private plunge pool. Dining is at the Evolution Restaurant, with Ecuadorian and international fusion menus that change every two days and a walk-in wine cellar, plus dining under the stars by the firepit and infinity pool, and the DNA Bar in the lobby lounge.
There is the Sumaq Spa on the crater rim, a spa jacuzzi and a gym, and an infinity pool on the crater edge. This land-based lodge runs its own private yacht for full-day cruises to two islands daily with naturalist guides, alongside the private tortoise reserve, volcanic-landscape tours, mountain bikes and trails. A member of Relais & Chateaux, it suits environmentally conscious, active and adventurous travellers and multigenerational families who want a design-led Galapagos base.
