Set a 3-minute walk from the pier in the charming village of Puerto Villamil, the Wooden House Lodge is a family-run boutique lodge offering a warm, characterful base to explore Isabela.
The lodge's distinctive rustic architecture, crafted throughout in rich dark timber and decorated with imagery of local wildlife, creates an atmosphere that feels entirely at home in its extraordinary natural surroundings.
The Wooden House Lodge accommodates up to 35 guests across 12 rooms, divided into nine standard rooms and three superior rooms. Standard rooms are air-conditioned with en suite bathrooms, hot water heated via solar panels, and ceiling fans, whilst the superior rooms are spacious suites featuring a private balcony with views over the bay, a living area, and mini fridge.
Social living rooms on both floors provide a relaxed setting for guests to plan excursions or simply unwind, and high-speed Starlink WiFi is available throughout the communal areas. A small outdoor swimming pool, lava rock BBQ facilities and a well-regarded on-site restaurant serving fresh local cuisine and international dishes complete the picture.
The lodge's attentive staff are well-versed in island activities and are on hand to arrange snorkelling trips, kayaking, cycling, and local hikes. Concha de Perla, one of the finest snorkelling lagoons in the Galápagos, lies just minutes away on foot, whilst the surrounding waters offer encounters with Galápagos penguins, marine iguanas, seahorses and an abundance of reef fish year-round.
The Wooden House Lodge is an excellent choice for divers and snorkellers seeking a genuinely characterful retreat on one of the Galápagos' most rewarding and least-visited islands.
