MonteMar

Born out of the love for protecting the natural habitat of the Galapagos Giant Tortoise, Montemar consists of two villas, beautifully appointed and fully sustainable, located on 43-acres of private land on the island of Santa Cruz, Galapagos. The owners, your hosts, Reyna and Roberto, created Montemar with sustainability at the core of their project – the property produces most of its energy, harvests rainwater, supplies from its own organic farm, and has the lowest environmental footprint on the islands.

Come and feel at home in your own private villa and choose one of the carefully planned experiences we have created for your exploration of these enchanted islands.
