CASA ROSADA

ON THE BEACH
AT THE END OF THE WORLD
ONE OF A KIND
VERY PRIVATE

"La Casa Rosada" is the last house at the edge of a small village on a two mile long beach in Galapagos National Park, Ecuador. This very private villa on Isabela Island has seven bedrooms, six baths, a huge, fully equipped kitchen , a dining room with ocean view, a beach front patio with a hearth and a lava rock garden that is home to a colony of 50 Galapagos marine iguanas, a regulation beach volleyball court and a sundeck with extraordinary sunsets.

Isabela provides endless opportunity for exploration, adventure, education, creation and reflection. Hike seven volcanoes. Dive or snorkel with sea lions, lava gulls, blue footed boobies, Galapagos penguins, green sea turtles, manta rays, dolphins, great frigate birds and flamingos. The village has sand streets, palm trees, grocery stores, restaurants and bars, a sea front park, a Darwin Research Substation, a Park headquarters, a Galapagos tortoise breeding station, local guides with horses, boats and a few vehicles. There is an airstrip for private jets.

We can arrange logistics, transportation, housekeeping, guides, boats and cooks.

Owner Supplied Testimonials

Carolina , Buenos Aires

I spent 2 weeks at Casa Rosada in Isabela, last January. It was one of the best trips in my life. Isabela is a land paradise, the location of the house can¨t be better. The owner, Claudia, is a super friendly woman who recommended all the best tours to make the most of my trip. She was always right, and scuba at the Corona del diablo with rays, sharks, octopuses, sea turtles, sea stars ans so many other incredible species is something I will never forget. Food was great, particularly the homemade octopus ceviche, the catch of the day in full moon "canchalaguas", and the tuna sashimi. I really felt myself at home, and loved the relaxed atmosphere of the house. Beach volley, right next to the house and the well deserved beer after it is a must, and gave me the opportunity to make new friends, both turists and some locals. I cant wait to go back next summer cause i can¨t wait to meet my new frinds, the incredible Iguanas that, just like me, loooove to lay on the Sun at the Mirador balcony of Casa Rosada!

I stayed at the casa rosada in March, 2008 with a group of friends and family. We had an absolutely unforgettable experience there. The location directly on the beach was phenomenal, the iguanas were amazing, the tour guide and cook made the trip completely stress free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone interested in seeing the Galapagos. Unlike the other habitable islands in the Galapagos, Isabella still retains the "other worldly" and undeveloped beauty of the Galapagos islands. If you go though, go soon. In twenty years, this town will be a developed tourist site. Right now, it's an amazing destination that retains the authentic, pristine flair that Darwin so aptly described.
