Golden Bay Hotel and Spa
Golden Bay is a stunning, superior property perched on a white-powder beach you may share with a sea-lion or two. Contemporary chic blends with sympathy with the rustic landscape, and service comes with a welcoming smile.
As the Ecuadorian archipelago’s elder statesman both geologically-speaking and in terms of human settlement (the Galapagos’ first residents reached this eastern-most island in the 1830s), San Cristóbal offers you a richly varied experience of the islands’ biodiversity. Nestled in sleepy Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, on the beachfront, sits one of the island’s stand-out properties. The Golden Bay Hotel, equally welcoming for families as for couples, is an ideal base with warm hospitality, sumptuous cuisine and stylish, minimalist decor.
Its four categories of 19 elegant rooms and suites overlook either the ocean or adjacent gardens while its restaurant has crafted an exquisite menu that includes home-baked breads, wood-fire pizzas and shrimp ‘volcanoes’. Noteworthy, too, is its ecological strategy, with recycling, solar-energy, rooftop allotment and water-treatment systems in place, alongside several social programs designed to positively impact the local community. Additional comforts include a panoramic terrace and an extensive excursion menu.
