Pikaia Lodge is a new concept in luxury land-based eco-adventure in the Galapagos Islands, offering the highest levels of comfort and a once-in-a-lifetime experience to its guests combining scheduled half and full day land explorations with full day marine explorations visiting nearby islands on its private yacht M/Y Pikaia I. The Lodge is also highly advanced in environmental management; the design and construction has followed minimum-impact principles, and aims for a high LEED operational certification.
Pikaia Lodge is located on Santa Cruz Island, in the center of the Archipelago, nearby secluded white sandy beaches and wildlife sites of the Galapagos National Park. The 31 hectares of land and private wild giant tortoise reserve sit 450 meters above sea level.
From all the public areas and rooms, the lodge's guests will enjoy expansive views of the pristine, arid savannah of the adjacent Galapagos National Park by looking north, to extinct volcanic cones shrouded in mist, as well as mountains covered with lush tropical cloud forests, and green pasture farms by looking to the south-west; along with a 270-degree view of the seemingly infinite Pacific Ocean with nearby islands as a backdrop.
Pakaia Lodge's spacious rooms and suites have panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, private shaded terraces and balconies with breathtaking unobstructed views over the green-tinged volcanic landscape of Santa Cruz to the blue Pacific Ocean. Designed with a modern but cozy contemporary style, the rooms are naturally well-lit and ventilated. All rooms have large bathrooms decorated with marble walk-in closet, wall mirrors for each guest, a closed toilet room, and a shower area with views of the ocean or separate bathtub.
With its surrounding decks with Peruvian travertine marble and furnished with comfortable beach chairs, the pool is conveniently placed to receive the sun shade-free the entire day to maintain a pleasant water temperature. There is a covered terrace next to the pool where guests can enjoy meals and drinks without having to change. At night the pool and decks are softly illuminated, creating a tranquil ambience.
Pikaia Lodge has its own exclusive private yacht, the 100-foot Pikaia I, offering a confortable, safe and relaxing day tour experience. Excursions are done in groups of no more than 16 guests. Pikaia Lodge Explorations are guided half-day and full-day adventures that cover the distinct landscapes and marine wildlife of the islands, under fixed three, four or seven-night programs. Each morning the experienced guides plan exploration options based on satellite weather imagery and tide charts. Programs incorporate hikin...
Pikaia’s DNA Bar is strategically placed between the restaurant, the lobby-lounge, and the shaded terraces and pool area. The barmen can mix world-famous cocktails as well as popular local drinks prepared with top quality imported liquors, freshly squeezed tropical juices, Champagnes, exotic spirits, wines, beers and soft drinks.
For the lodge's guests who want to keep track of their workout schedule during their stay at Pikaia Lodge, Ardy’s Gym is equipped with modern treadmills, spinning bikes and weights, offering the same spectacular views as Sumaq Spa. The property has almost 3.5 km. of private trails for walking, jogging or biking. These scenic paths pass through reforested native forests alive with birdsong, where guests are likely to encounter wild giant tortoises.
Fresh local produce is complemented with the best imported ingredients to create the delicious à la carte dinner menu, fusing modern international cuisine with traditional Ecuadorian dishes. Evolution also serves outside on the shaded decks and terraces, where guests can take in the stunning panoramic views beyond the infinity pool.
Decorated in a classic style with white Peruvian travertine marble, Sumaq Spa offers a serene environment to relieve muscular tension and travel stresses and to pamper and purify the body. A treatment room with two individual massage tables, sauna and the whirlpool, with a 180-degree view of the ocean, is the best way to unwind after a day’s exploring.
