MONTEMAR ECO LUXURY VILLAS, SANTA CRUZ ISLAND

UNIQUE WILDLIFE AND VEGETATION

An eco-retreat in the lush grasslands of the Galapagos’ Santa Cruz Island, Montemar Eco Luxury Villas offers guests a new way of discovering the unique wildlife and vegetation of the Galapagos.

Montemar consists of two villas, both beautifully designed and built using natural materials from the Galapagos. In 43-acres of private land in the highlands of Santa Cruz island, the owners Reyna and Roberto have created a sustainable and private way to discover the Galapagos.

The two villas, Tortuga and Lechuza, are completely separate but can be rented together by groups. Tortuga is larger and has space for up to 8 guests and Lechuza up to 4. The villas have their own kitchenettes, but your stay is full-board, with ingredients coming from Montemar’s own organic gardens and sustainably caught fish from the seafood market.

Sustainability is the main priority for Reyna and Roberto, and they have created Montemar to minimise its environmental impact. The villas produce their own energy and rainwater is collected. They also produce their own coffee, which is sold and proceeds support conservation efforts protecting the giant tortoises of the Galapagos.

Giant Tortoises are particularly important to Reyna and Roberto, who are both naturalist guides by trade. The highlands of the island are where the migration of these gentle giants takes place and it isn’t uncommon to see large numbers of them roaming in Montemar’s grounds.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
