From fragmented to flourishing: How Luna Volcán transformed their revenue performance by 363% with SiteMinder’s unified platform

MARKETING

Perched 400 metres above the town of Baños on the eastern flank of Ecuador's active Tungurahua volcano, Luna Volcán Adventure Spa offers guests an extraordinary escape where wellness meets adventure. This 30-room boutique property spans 35 hectares of private Andean forest, providing breathtaking panoramic views that have become synonymous with transformative travel experiences in Ecuador. Located just three hours from Quito at the gateway to the Amazon rainforest, Luna Volcán serves as both a standalone destination and a perfect complement to Galápagos journeys. The property features volcanic water pools, four signature restaurants, a spa offering 46 treatments, and direct access to waterfalls and hiking trails. Guests can also visit the famous Swing at the End of the World, just nine minutes away, immortalised in National Geographic and award-winning photography.
