Details

Reconnect with your inner compass and embrace the wisdom of your soul. Intuition is a powerful skill that can be nurtured and developed. Have you ever felt an unmistakable sense of ease - or discomfort - after making a decision? That's your intuition speaking. Unfortunately, societal norms, expectations, and past traumas often cloud this inner voice, leading us away from our true selves, causing confusion and doubt. Join us for an immersive retreat in Guatemala, designed to help you reconnect with your intuition. Through a harmonious blend of silence, movement, laughter, and nourishing experiences, you'll learn to trust the innate wisdom that resides within you. This journey will empower you to let your body guide your mind, fostering decisions that resonate with your true self. When your body speaks, are you ready to listen?

Location

Santa Cruz la Laguna, Guatemala

Santa Cruz la Laguna is a tranquil and picturesque village nestled on the shores of Lake Atitlán in the highlands of Guatemala. Accessible primarily by boat, this remote haven is known for its stunning lake views against the backdrop of volcanoes and its traditional Mayan culture. Visitors can explore the natural beauty of the area through hiking, kayaking, and participating in cultural activities. Santa Cruz la Laguna is a place where travelers can immerse themselves in the peaceful ambiance, connect with the local Tz'utujil community, and experience a slower pace of life surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of one of Guatemala's most beautiful regions.

In Sanskrit, Sumaya means a long-awaited dream come true, while in Arabic it translates as a little piece of paradise. Both of these definitions mirror our hearts’ intentions and inspire our service. Our logo is a Mayan glyph found in Chiapas, Mexico representing the fountain of life or the budding growth of a flower, and this too moves us ever forward. Villa Sumaya, located in Santa Cruz la Laguna on the shores of Lake Atitlán, was conceived in 2001 with the purchase of the lakefront Maya Rose House, originally the vacation home of a Guatemalan family. Over time, in addition to renovating the Maya Rose House for style and comfort, we added a restaurant, a boutique shop, our welcoming courtyard, a hot tub, and a sauna, as well as four healing huts where we offer a wide variety of spa services.
