Maya Moon Lodge

Lago de Atitlán


This retreat a bit west of the main dock consists of large, simply furnished cabins at various levels of a florally abundant hillside, all with hammock-slung balconies facing the lake. The lodge is stamped with the patient, generous character of its English owners. A restaurant at the lakefront serves meals with organic veggies from the garden.

Yoga on the lodge's dock is offered, along with Reiki and Thai massage.
