The Breeze Yurt

The Space

This is the view people move to Guatemala for: a glamping yurt perched on a volcanic hillside, with three volcanoes, Lake Atitlan, and a private balcony visible from your king-size bed.

The yurt is raised on stilts above the hillside, opening onto expansive views as soon as you arrive. Inside, you’ll find:

• A king-size bed with 100% organic cotton linens
• Warm lighting
• Starlink Wi-Fi
• A private balcony overlooking the lake and volcanoes

Breakfast is available on request and can be served on your deck while the mist lifts from the lake. The traditional Maya breakfast includes:

• Handmade tortillas
• Local eggs
• Fresh fruit
• A smoothie
• Highland coffee

The property’s eco-friendly features include:

• Solar energy
• Solar-heated showers
• An eight-category waste separation system
• Furniture handcrafted by local Maya Kaqchikel artisans

Guest Access

Your yurt is entirely private, including the interior and balcony.

Shared facilities include:

• Solar-heated showers
• Compost toilets
• A fully equipped outdoor kitchen
• A fire pit
• A communal lounge area
• Trails through the highland vegetation

Location

San Marcos is a 15-minute walk from the property. Tuk-tuks and boats from San Marcos provide connections to other towns around the lake, and assistance with onward travel is available.

Other Things to Note

The property is located on a volcanic hillside, with uneven paths and some steps between areas. It is generally easy to navigate, but guests with mobility considerations should be aware of the terrain.

The compost toilets are clean and odor-free. If you are using them for the first time, the hosts are happy to explain how they work upon arrival.
