The easiest route is to fly into La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City. From there, take a 3 hour private shuttle (included i price) to Panajachel (the main lakeside town). A private boat will then take you to the retreat center once you get to Panajachel (quick 5-10 minute ride.)

A sample day might start with sunrise yoga or meditation overlooking the volcanoes (7-8:15 AM), followed by a nourishing breakfast. Mornings often include activities like breathwork or hiking, with free time for lake swims, exploring, or rest in the afternoon. Evenings wrap with gentle yin yoga, cacao ceremonies, or group sharing circles (5-8 PM), leaving space for personal reflection. Schedules are flexible to honor your energy levels.

All levels are welcome! Our retreats are designed for beginners to advanced practitioners. Classes blend gentle Hatha, Vinyasa, and restorative styles, with modifications for every body. If you're new to yoga, we'll meet you right where you are—no prior experience needed.

Three delicious, farm-to-table meals per day are included, focusing on fresh, organic vegetarian or vegan Guatemalan-inspired cuisine (think black beans, tropical fruits, and volcano-grown veggies). We're happy to accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, or other allergies—just let us know during booking.

Yes, Villa Suamaya offers reliable Wi-Fi throughout the property for staying connected (great for digital nomads), though we encourage unplugging to deepen your retreat experience.

Essentials include comfortable yoga clothes, layers for cool evenings (temps 60-80°F/15-27°C), sturdy walking shoes for trails, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a journal. Don't forget your swimsuit for lake dips and any personal wellness items like essential oils. We'll provide yoga mats and all other props.

If you cancel your trip before December 11 (30 days before the retreat), you receive a full refund. After December 11 all payments are final and you will not be refunded. Travel insurance is advised for peace of mind, especially with international flights.

Lake Atitlán is a peaceful, well-traveled wellness destination loved by thousands of visitors each year. We provide fresh purified water at all times, and the mild altitude (~5,000 ft/1,500m) feels gentle—just sip plenty of water and ease into your practice. Nearby Panajachel has excellent clinics just a quick boat ride away (15–30 minutes), with full hospitals in Sololá if ever needed. You’re in caring hands the whole way!
