Villa Sumaya

Villa Sumaya, featured in Taschen's Great Yoga Retreats, is an Eco oriented, full service, family owned retreat and training center, and hotel, serendipitously situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Atitlan. We specialize in group packages that can accommodate up to 30 guests comfortably and also cater to individuals who want to create their own personal retreat. There are lots of great options. We are located in Santa Cruz la Laguna on Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala, a 15 minute boat ride from Panajachel. We have two world-class group facilities. Both the Blue Tiger and Tara Temples boast gorgeous thatched roofs, unique Asian motif, full panoramic lake/volcanic view, and hard wood floors. The Blue Tiger Temple is 1000 square feet while the Tara Temple space is 700 square feet. Both locations are ideal for group activities such as yoga retreats, yoga teacher training, dance, active and sitting meditation, art groups, writing workshops, martial arts, shamanistic ceremonies, impromptu drama, kirtan-chanting, think tanks, family reunions and weddings. If you’re a teacher, instructor, trainer, shaman, mentor or guru looking for an inspiring facility to rent, consider bringing your students to Villa Sumaya for a breathtaking getaway they’ll never forget.
