Roots & River Yoga Guatemala Retreat

November 7th - November 16th, 2024

Rooms and Registration

Our Guatemala adventure will begin with two (2) nights in Antigua at Hotel Soleil followed by seven (7) nights at Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlan. The rooms at Hotel Soleil are built into the overall retreat price below. At Villa Sumaya, there are three different room options, each with its own price point.

The Retreat Packet Price Includes:

• 2 nights at Hotel Soleil in Antigua (with breakfast)

• 7 nights at Villa Sumaya (three meals each day)

• Ground and boat transportation to and from the airport, Antigua, and Villa Sumaya

• Gratuity/tips for the hotel staff at both locations (expect for breakfast wait staff at Hotel Soleil)

• Participation in a Cacao Ceremony at Villa Sumaya

You will be assigned a room at Hotel Soleil depending on if you are a single or double occupancy since all the rooms are similar. Reservations for the Villa Sumaya rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis. The prices listed below are per person for single, double or triple occupancy. If you are traveling alone but are interested in a roommate, please let us know and we might be able to match you with someone, though we can’t guarantee it. If you select double occupancy you will share a room at both Hotel Soleil and Villa Sumaya.

A Registration Form is at the bottom of the page.
Once you have registered, Machelle will send you a link to make your deposit.

Hotel Soleil (Antigua)

We will be spending our first two nights (December 13th and 14th, 2023) at the Quinta de las Flores on a quiet street about 8 blocks from the central plaza. Eric and I have stayed here before and were enchanted by their comfortable rooms, beautiful flower gardens and gathering space around the pool. Check out this video tour of Quinta de las Flores.

Villa Sumaya (Lake Atitlan)

We will be spend an additional 6 nights (December 15th - 21st) at Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala. Eric used to live in the town of Panajachel on the lake. We brought a group to this all inclusive retreat center earlier this year and had a marvelous time. Check out this video tour of Villa Sumaya.

Below is more detailed information about each room. Villa Sumaya is built into the side of a mountain, so please note the information about the number of stairs for each room. The Maya Rose rooms are down closer to the shoreline, with fewer stairs to the main courtyard, dining room, and reception. The various suites are higher up from the lake, with more space and grander views, but require climbs of 40 to 70 steps up from the main courtyard.
