A boutique hotel site in the Galápagos.

Accommodation supply in the Galápagos is structurally constrained: 96.7% of the archipelago's land area is National Park, and only 3.3% — some 26,356 hectares — is settled across San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Isabela and Floreana.

Tourism demand is high and options are limited. Project Paradiso is the first opportunity to develop a luxury boutique hotel property on the islands in over ten years — a return profile underpinned less by operating upside than by genuine scarcity of comparable supply.

The project is fully permitted from an environmental perspective and a complete ecological assessment has been carried out. In a jurisdiction where the National Park, Park Land, Marine Reserve and human settlement subsystems each carry their own constraints, that consented status is the substance of the asset.

Concept and interiors were developed by Studio Piet Boon, whose practice works across architecture, interiors and design with a stated focus on timelessness and durable materials that improve with age — at once modern and classic, luxurious and restrained.

The project site is in the Canton of San Cristóbal. The Galápagos are an archipelago of volcanic islands on the equator in the Pacific, 960 km west of continental Ecuador, of which they form part; total land area is 788,200 hectares.

Marketing and brand narrative were developed by The Seventh Art, a team with fifteen years' experience bringing distinctive luxury real estate and hospitality properties to market.
