Family-run La Casa de Marita is a welcoming, homely hotel right on the shores of a beautiful white sand beach and within easy reach of Isabela's main town, Puerto Villamil.

The intimate and welcoming La Casa de Marita on Isabela Island is owned by Peruvian Marita and her Italian husband. It has a tranquil location next to a pretty crescent-shaped beach of dazzling white sand and turquoise seas, a short walk away from the town of Puerto Villamil with its shops and simple restaurants.

The rooms are individually decorated and vary from plain and unfussy to vividly colourful. Some have sea views; all are homely, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Communal areas of the hotel are adorned with folk art and have a warm and convivial ambience, and there’s a restaurant and a garden strung with inviting hammocks.

  • Highlights?: Snorkelling with green turtles sea lions and penguins

    PW, Twickenham Sep 2018

  • The Galapagos animals, scenery and sea were out of this world, just fabulous

    CH, Epsom Jan 2013

  • The wildlife in the Galápagos was so totally unbothered by our presence.

    SB, Leyland Sep 2012

  • The cabin upgrade was definitely worth the extra money, much more space and good sized windows!  

    LF, Alderley Edge Sep 2013

  • We loved snorkelling with marine iguanas, turtles, and the lovely playful sealions.

    FM, Manchester Jul 2026

  • The attention to environmental concerns on the Galápagos was first rate.  The national park is a pristine environment and every effort is being made to keep it that way.
