7 days at Lake Atitlán: Pure Magic in Every Direction

Then comes the moment everyone remembers: arriving at Lake Atitlán.

Often called one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Atitlán is surrounded by three majestic volcanoes, lush hillsides, and colourful Mayan villages. The light shifts constantly, the water sparkles, and the views are nothing short of spectacular.

Our lakeside retreat home offers front-row seats to this natural wonder—sunrises, sunsets, and endless photo-worthy moments.

Daily yoga is included (always optional), with practices timed to either:

  • Start your mornings by the lake

    or

These practices are grounding, joyful, and accessible—designed to help you feel open and alive.

This retreat blends yoga with memorable experiences you won’t find anywhere else:

  • Boat excursions across the lake to vibrant villages

Every outing is thoughtfully paced, combining adventure with ease.

🎨 Creativity by the Lake (Optional & Included)

On two afternoons, you’re invited to enjoy optional watercolour painting sessions, inspired by Lake Atitlán’s dazzling colours and dramatic landscapes.

These relaxed, beginner-friendly sessions are playful, meditative, and surprisingly freeing—no art experience needed, just curiosity.

🌎 This is not just a retreat.
