WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Perched on the slopes of the dramatic Sierra Negra Volcano with sweeping views of Isabela’s coastline and distant Galapagos islands, Scalesia Lodge is a unique safari-style tented camp immersed in 16 hectares of magical scalesia forest, so emblematic of the Galapagos. From the main lodge, an impressive, glass-fronted, contemporary landmark which houses the restaurant and lounge as well as a fabulous wraparound balcony, trails lead off to the elegant tented accommodation mounted on wooden platforms amidst the forest. Saclesia offers fully inclusive programs with daily activities to explore Isabela’s wonderful wildlife and landscapes – hike Sierra Negra Volcano, snorkel with penguins at Las Tintoreras, visit the Giant Tortoise Breeding Centre etc etc… And then when back at the lodge, why not cool off in the pool or enjoy the wonderful views before enjoying delicious local Ecuadorian cuisine.
