VILLA SUMAYA

This will be my second time here at Villa Sumaya… The retreat itself is beautiful.. blooming colorful plants all over the property…the lake is healing and powerful, the food is divine…and the people are the most loving and happy people I have ever met.” -Sarah

Villa Sumaya is nestled in a gorgeous landlocked bay on the north shore of the lake, and on 18 acres in the traditional homeland of the indigenous Maya. Villa Sumaya looks directly across the lake at three spectacular volcanoes.

The proximity to the equator offers a high plane semi-tropical paradise and the lake creates a powerful inverse vortex to the volcanic mountains and ridges above, creating tremendous beauty and distinct natural challenges to work with.
