The KEY TO HAPPINESS
in a world gone crazy!
Imagine owning a boutique retreat property with the most stunning meeting halls, views, permaculture principles, and Tulum-style cool vibes.
Guests walk stone paths through lush vegetation, drink coffee from your garden, eat fresh guacamole, listen to the river, and watch local women in traditional dress serve smoothies.
All of this, balanced with real comfort: WiFi, orthopedic beds, and operational systems. Fire ceremonies under ancient trees. A sacred circle by the river.
At the heart of the land stands a majestic hall with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass, floating wood floors, and a perfect frame of lake and volcano.
Across the river: a private luxury villa with high ceilings, custom woodwork, large decks, and rare architectural character.
Additional land allows for expansion, gardens, or further development. The property can operate as a retreat center, boutique hotel, or Airbnb compound. Demand in the area is strong and growing.

ECO VILLAGE
The retreat is built on permaculture principles, prioritizing blending in nature. Natural materials are blended with new technology, and vegetation and gardens surround every corner. There is a lovely river and dramatic views all around. We grow coffee, avocado, banana, jocote, zapote, and more.
Solar system and 4 septic systems to support a growing business.
TURN KEY OPERATION
Beautiful grounds, rooms ready, equipped kitchen, furnished rooms, and digital assets to have you running. We may have future bookings to pass on.
LOCATION
Guatemala is easily accessible from both Europe and the US. Many inexpensive flights arrive directly from many cities in the US. We have road access and parking, and we are a 10-minute walk from the lake and the public dock.
Lake Atitlan is known as a center for healing and health, spirituality, and permaculture. It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world and is considered to have unique energy fields.
Maybe most important is that it is spring weather year-round. The sun shines all year, and it is comfortable year-round. They call it the land of eternal spring.
Lake Atitlan is booming. New businesses are opening, more land is being purchased, improved roads and facilities are being built, tourism is increasing, and investors are entering. It is probably the ideal time to invest, as Lake Atitlan is what Costa Rica used to be before it over developed.

TESTIMONIALS

★★★★★
I STAYED HERE FOR A WEEK FOR THE RETREAT. IT WAS PERFECT. I CAME WITH TWO FRIENDS, BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALLY COMFORTABLE TRAVELING SOLO, TOO. THE SPOT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS – EVEN ALL THE PRETTY PICTURES CAN’T SHOW HOW STUNNING THE VIEWS REALLY ARE.

★★★★★
THE LOCATION IS UNREAL. TO SAY THE VIEWS ARE INCREDIBLE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED. IT’S ALSO CLOSE TO SAN MARCOS, WHICH IS A CUTE LITTLE TOWN TO SHOP AND EXPLORE CAFES AS WELL AS PANACHEL. THE AMENITIES ARE SO COMFORTABLE.

The retreat center offers three types of rooms: private rooms with ensuite bathrooms, private rooms with shared bathrooms, and dormitory rooms with shared bathrooms. Hot water is a solar system. We created massive septic tanks with food forests to allow clients to have flush toilets while still prioritizing eco and sustainability.

Our extra-large Kitchen features concrete countertops, two sinks, and a large wooden island with shelves underneath. It is spacious and comfortable to work in.

Why are we selling?
The owner created this magical place from the ground up. He designed and built the place, the menu, and the gardens. He fulfilled his dream of teaching in the most beautiful place he had ever taught, leading groups, retreats, hosting Gap year programs, wellness retreats, Yoga and Ayurveda retreats, yoga and Mindfulness retreats, and yoga trainings. He is now transitioning to a new chapter.
