Semilla Verde was the very first hotel to organize and promote yoga retreats in the Galápagos Islands. We have a dedicated, all season, fully equipped yoga studio with hot and cold climate control to ensure a comfortable and dry practice.  Impressive views to the tortoise pond, and ample wall space for inversions complete the picture. Offering excellent facilities, value for money and overall guest experience, we remain the number one option for groups wanting to combine a comprehensive Galapagos experience with yoga. These are intimate retreats with either sixteen or twenty sellable spaces, accommodated in nine spacious ensuite bedrooms and an additional suite for teachers.

Endemic giant tortoises roam freely around the twelve acre estate and there are over a mile of nature trails. On your days out you’ll swim with sea lions, visit a tortoise rearing centre, and spot penguins, sharks, marine iguanas, and the dancing blue-footed boobies. With a focus on yoga, exploration and adventure, you will spend every day in amazement at the wild beauty and boundless natural energy of the Galápagos.

The island excursions are full day events and include a land and snorkel element. Mask and fins are provided and lunch is on the boat itself. There is the opportunity to swim with sea lions, rays, turtles on each excursion day. Naturally, we can’t guarantee what animal encounters will be like, but you are most likely to observe sharks, sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies and a whole plethora of other unique species.
