Villa Sumaya is a yoga and wellness retreat center that sits on the shore of beautiful Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. They host yoga retreats and yoga teacher trainings throughout the year, led by teachers from around the world who bring their groups from afar. I spent a few days there this month and had the opportunity to photograph the center and a couple of their yoga instructors who posed for portraits (coming soon).
The property has its own private dock and feels remote, though villages dot the perimeter of the lake, all just a boat ride away. Once you step onto the dock and the remaining hum of the boat disappears, Villa Sumaya itself is so quiet and peaceful – an ideal place to disconnect from the modern world and tune into nature and Self. With a variety of spa treatments, comfortable rooms, hammocks and healthy family-style meals, its a place you could call home for days, or weeks.
