Best hotels in Ecuador

Ecuador squeezes the Andes, the Amazon and the Galápagos Islands into a country roughly the size of Colorado. First-timers will usually start in Quito, the capital, whose old town is chock-full of gold-leafed churches and steep cobbled lanes. Out in the Galápagos, families tend to base themselves on Isla Santa Cruz, where the water is clear enough to count the fish below. Repeat visitors prefer the slower villages of Isla Isabela and its giant tortoise breeding centre. Hikers head for the Avenue of the Volcanoes, the highland valley south of Quito, to walk the rim of the turquoise crater lake at Quilotoa. You can choose between 155 properties across Ecuador, and prices range from USD 90 to USD 2,200 per person per night. In Cuenca, ITZA Hotel Boutique Internacional is a short walk from some of the country's prettiest colonial architecture. And deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon at Sacha Lodge, you'll share the forest with sloths, pink river dolphins and squabbling monkeys.

Grand Majestic

San Cristobal

8 Rooms
|
From $1.6K per person/night
The fastest yacht in the archipelago, with wildlife unlike anywhere on earth.

There are places on this planet where evolution took a different path entirely, and these volcanic islands in the Pacific represent perhaps the most extraordinary example. To see them properly — the marine iguanas, the flightless cormorants, the penguins that by rights have no business being at the equator — you need to be out on the water, moving between islands with the kind of purpose that a slow vessel simply cannot manage. Enter this sleek American-built mega-yacht, the fastest in the entire island fleet at 25 knots, which means considerably less time in transit and considerably more time snorkelling with sea lions or hiking lava fields at the edge of the world. Launched in 2018 and designed from the outset for private charter, the yacht carries a maximum of 16 guests under the guidance of certified bilingual naturalist guides who know these islands in their bones. Itineraries run for four, five or eight days, each one a masterclass in putting guests exactly where the wildlife is at the right moment. For a destination this singular, the vessel matters.

Montemar Eco Luxury Villas

Montemar are the first exclusive, sustainable villas in the Galapagos Islands, launched in 2019. Owned and run by a local couple of conservationists with studies in biology and ecology, experts in all things Galapagos, Montemar’s hosts, Roberto and his wife Reyna, provide an authentic, transformative and personalized experience in the archipelago with the minimum environmental impact. Nothing beats being personally looked after by the owners. Montemar is the only property in Galapagos that is practically off-the-grid: they produce most of their energy, harvest all water from the rain, produce their own food in the organic farm, and use mostly local materials for the construction of the villas. Montemar is at the forefront of sustainability in Galapagos and a key member of the community. The property consists of two villas, Villa Tortuga with four bedrooms(capacity up to 8 guests) and Villa Lechuza with two bedrooms (capacity up to 4 guests). The villas offer comfort, privacy and that homely feel that is never found at a hotel, both are fully equipped with great taste and high quality, luxurious amenities, high thread count sheets, sleek décor and include private chefs and housekeeping staff. The maximum capacity at Montemar is 12 guests, who love the peace and connection with the natural environment, habitat of Galapagos’ most iconic species, the Giant Tortoises – the gentle creatures love roaming around our 43-acre property located in El Carmen, Santa Cruz Island. They offer carefully planned itineraries to explore the islands during the day and come back to the comfort of the villa where the private chef creates delicious meals using the freshest of organic produce from the biodynamic farm. For travelers looking for something different, totally bespoke, 100% sustainable, Montemar is the ideal choice.
