Nestled on a private stretch of Los Alemanes Beach, this chic hotel features a stunning outdoor pool, a top-notch spa, and an acclaimed open-air restaurant, making it a dreamy getaway in the Galapagos.
"If you’ve only ever visited the Galapagos Islands by sea, this beachfront eco-lodge on the south side of Santa Cruz Island makes a strong case for getting your feet in the sand and sticking around for a while. Expect breezy porches strung with hammocks, a restaurant serving sustainable slipper lobster, and access to a mangrove-lined beach. The hotel offers plenty of excursions (including yacht tours and visits to a giant tortoise reserve), but one of the true joys of this place is simply wandering around the island. Exploring by foot means you’ll have access to the Charles Darwin Research Station, the marine iguanas of Tortuga Bay Beach, and the crystal-clear swimming holes known as Las Grietas." - CNT Editors

"The Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel, set in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, also has its own yacht, dubbed the Sea Lion. This vessel can hold up to 20 passengers plus two guides (many other day-trip boats carry 16 passengers and have just one guide). Sea Lion itineraries also encompass all five islands that day-trip boats are allowed to visit." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Most visitors to the Galapagos sleep on boats, moving quickly from one island to another. The Finch Bay Hotel, located on the beach on Santa Cruz Island, offers a slower pace. It's built around the natural landscape, with a terrace facing the sea and wooden walkways threading past volcanic rocks and tropical foliage." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
