Our Story

The Cormorant Beach House was born out of a vague fantasy, one that stems from the idea of sharing this place that has seen three generations of my family grow up. It has become an island that crosses my history and that of my family, but that also has an international reputation for its beauty and particular biodiversity. A place where we have somehow been able to coexist in relative calm, human and non-human, respecting each other equally.

How did we get here? Why did we come? Why did we stay?

These are three questions that have plagued my mind and my memory forever, and which I feel are also parallel starting points with our non-human co-belongers. In the end, the story of evolution and species resembles the one my grandparents told me: we came by chance, we stayed because we couldn’t go back. We adapted.

We made Puerto Villamil our home, we collaborated and now we want to preserve. Preserve because our memories and existences are inevitably intertwined with this island. Because it is part of us and because those with whom we began to live and welcomed us are vulnerable and need us. That is why the Cormorant Beach House was born, with its desire to be a refuge, which seeks to connect visitors and newcomers with the particular magic of our beloved island.

And with the Cormorant in particular. Because there is no way in which its existence is not interwoven with mine. With the memory of her eyes.

Welcome To Isabela

In Puerto Villamil, time follows its own rhythm and nature guides every step. This small port, full of stories of resilience and harmony, is a place where the inhabitants have learned to coexist with native species, understanding that protecting the environment is a form of love.

Every corner of Isabela invites you to contemplation and to reconnect with the essential. Its landscapes, shaped by the fire of active volcanoes, are testimony to an island in constant evolution, where the land itself grows and renews itself. Here, the paths were first traced by the giant tortoises, and the locals, observing them, learned to follow them.

Welcome to a place where adventure and serenity intertwine, where every sunrise brings a new reason to be amazed. Isabela is not just a destination, it is a source of inspiration.
