Neighborhood
Tzununa is a quaint town on Lake Atitlan that has yet to be overrun by tourists. Just a short boat ride away from the busier towns of Panajachel and San Pedro, here is where you can truly immerse yourself in nature and travel off the beaten path. Our property is just a 10 minute walk from the shores of Lake Atitlan and neighboring San Marcos which is renowned for its alternative community and spiritual classes, courses and events, plus an abundance of healers and practitioners, from massage to acupuncture, an esteemed Waldorf school and a second pioneering educational project. Around the lake, you’ll also find activities such kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and swimming, and an ease of access through boat travel, tuk-tuks and hiking trails. Please let us know if we can help coordinate any additional activities for you. Please do keep in mind we are located in rural Guatemala and there may be some sporadic unpleasant sounds or street dogs barking. We do our best to control what we can and appreciate the local community for hosting us. We ask our guests to do the same.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to our extensive gardens and natural plunge pool at their leisure. The traditional Mayan temazcal sauna is available for an additional fee. The rooftop yoga shala is exclusive to guests renting The Seed Villa.
Good to know
On the hillside surrounded by lush vegetation, our newly-built Violeta Cottage gives you an amazing feeling of living in the forest treetops, with beautiful natural views from both bedrooms and a private garden area. The private outdoor space includes a lovely covered wooden veranda and a large patio with built-in benches and flowers blooming everywhere. The patio is perfect to enjoy the morning coffee and connect with nature, and serves as an ideal private yoga practice space. Violeta Cottage can sleep up to four guests in two twin-bed bedrooms, with the upstairs main bedroom easily converted to a king bed. Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and a large fridge, indoor/outdoor dining, and a cozy living area with a fireplace. Its light-filled, outdoor-feel bathroom is a stand-out feature of Violeta Cottage, with a profusion of tropical plants and hand-crafted bamboo features. The outdoors enjoy a luxurious soak in an antique iron bathtub surrounded by garden greenery —we strongly recommend the magical experience of star-gazing while you bathe at night!
Other Details to Note
Our property is surrounded by lots of vegetation, and you might find occasional garden spiders, scorpions or harmless bugs around. While this is great for outdoors photographers, we understand this is not comfortable for all. Most critters keep to themselves and none are poisonous. Families, please take note that our property has not been toddler proofed. Smoking permitted in outside areas only. Pets permitted by special request only.
