Stay in a nature reserve teeming with wildlife

Tucked away amidst the lush rainforests of the Mayan world, Las Lagunas offers a tranquil escape on the picturesque shores of Guatemala's Quexil lagoon.

With just 19 freestanding suites, each strategically positioned on high ground or above the lagoon, guests are treated to spacious accommodations flooded with natural light, providing a serene haven for relaxation.

Spanning nearly 300 acres, the property is enveloped by its own enclosed nature reserve, teeming with diverse wildlife, including monkeys, jaguars, ocelots, and over 250 bird species. Immerse yourself in the region's rich biodiversity and embark on thrilling excursions to explore nearby Mayan ruins such as Tikal, Uaxactún, and Yaxhá.

Founded by Edgar Castillo Sinibaldi, whose passion for conservation led him to establish the reserve on land once covered by virgin jungle, Las Lagunas stands as a testament to his lifelong dedication to protecting the region's wildlife. Guests can traverse nature trails within the reserve, immersing themselves in the beauty of untouched forest habitat.

The hotel itself features modern yet rustic design elements, offering a range of facilities for a comfortable stay. From spa relaxation and yoga classes to immersive visits to the on-site museum, there's something for every guest to enjoy. Indulge in culinary delights at the Shultún Restaurant, where panoramic views of the lagoon complement delectable international cuisine infused with local flavours sourced from the nearby market. Daily boat tours to Monkey Island, where guests can assist in feeding the resident monkeys, add a touch of adventure to your stay, promising unforgettable memories amidst Guatemala's natural splendour.
