Eco-boutique hotel on San Cristobal Island, Galapagos!
Galapagos is an archipelago that belongs to the Republic of Ecuador located 1000 km away from the nearest coast. Its geographical location is key to its quality surf, being on the equator means that it gets swells coming from all directions.
Surf world-class waves and immerse yourself in the pure wilderness, along with sea lions and marine iguanas! Indulge in comfort and luxury at Golden Bay, where modern design meets the environmental demands of the “Enchanted Archipelago”, enhancing the natural beauty of the island while promoting sustainable and responsible tourism!
The Resort
Located in front of the sea with direct access to the charming Playa de Oro on San Cristobal Island, Golden Bay Hotel overlooks a section of the coast that is home to sea lions, endemic iguana, blue-footed boobies, and other iconic Galapagos fauna. The beach in front of the hotel is a wildlife area where you can observe these beautiful animals in their natural habitat, bringing you the magic and uniqueness of the Archipelago at your doorstep.
With a modern design and unprecedented level of comfort, Golden Bay is the only hotel on the island registered and approved by Ecuador’s Ministry of Tourism and awarded five stars! Guests at Golden Bay Galapagos can enjoy the hotel’s open-air bar, terrace with panoramic views, interior courtyard garden, and swimming pool and relax by the Spa.
Waves at Golden Bay Galapagos
Year-round world-class waves, warm weather and rich marine life make Galapagos a unique surfing paradise. Due to the exceptional location, the Galapagos get both north and south swells from the Pacific Ocean, delivering great waves throughout the year and for all surfing tastes! San Cristobal Island, located on the Southwest side of the archipelago, is particularly recognised as the place that offers the best quality of waves, consistently, and with world-class conditions.
The warm season (December to April) is recognised as the best time of the year for surfing, due to the El Niño current with its Northern swells and favourable winds. During the cold season (May to November) the Humboldt current brings swells that hit the islands with higher consistency.
