The Hotel

A WONDERFUL PLACE TO AWAKEN

Beachside Galapagos Hotel

An enriching and rejuvenating land and sea experience right next to the beach

The Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel earliest risers can wade out into the beach’s calm waters and spot yellow warblers darting among the mangroves. With subtle architecture that mimics the surrounding volcanic rocks and attractive wooden walkways leaving the environment undisturbed, this Expedition hotel has a distinct sense of place.
