A Waterfront Launchpad for Galápagos Exploration
GPS Villa stands as a premier four-bedroom waterfront sanctuary in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island—thoughtfully designed to sleep nine guests seeking a land-based expedition. Situated in the island’s most desirable coastal neighborhood, the villa offers immediate proximity to the main pier, local artisan dining, and active shops. Balancing rugged island exploration with relaxed comfort, the property features a private heated hydrojet jacuzzi, a secure backyard, and an included sea kayak for direct waterfront exploration. To preserve the intentional serenity of the archipelago, please note that island connectivity operates on a slower, remote-island cadence, with Wi-Fi intentionally focused in communal social spaces to encourage unwinding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Galápagos private travel mean — a yacht or a house?
Two different trips. A private yacht charter is a whole boat on a park-assigned route. Land-based private travel is a whole house on Santa Cruz. GPS Villa is the house: four bedrooms, sleeps nine, Puerto Ayora, near the pier. CTC takes Infinity charter inquiries on the Galápagos private travel page. Never call the house a yacht.
