Royal Palm Hotel | Santa Cruz

Royal Palm Hotel | Santa Cruz
Welcome to The Royal Palm Hotel - a secluded guest accommodation nestling in the lush Miconia highland forests of Santa Cruz in the heart of the enchanted islands. The Royal Palm is a spacious and exclusive 156 hectares (386 acres) private estate, only 20 minutes-drive from the bustling port town of Puerto Ayora. 

With just 8 Casitas and 13 exclusive villas, our guests can enjoy privacy, space and quiet seclusion. Designed and crafted to complement our natural environment, this is as close to nature as you can get! The native ferns and flora create a carpet of contrast and color that cover the gently sloping hills down to the coast and beyond. Our resident birds include owls, Darwin Short Beak Finches, Garrapatero birds and Egrets and for our more active guests, the longest lava tunnel on the Island is a few steps from reception!
