Ikala, Galapagos Islands

The newer Ikala Hotel was built with a focus on sustainability and protecting the environment, featuring modern designs and furnishings. The hotel is centrally located near the pier and the main streets’ restaurants but does well to create a small haven protected from the strong Galapagos sun by the surrounding trees and pretty gardens. The hotel has 22 rooms and one split-level suite with a living room and kitchen. The property is solar powered and has a lovely swimming pool, bar area and a roof-top terrace with incredible views of Puerto Ayora harbour, where you can find the restaurant and resting area. Guests have free use of bikes to navigate the town.
