Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel
Petén, Guatemala
A sleek, stylish eco-lodge nestled into a private jungle reserve of protected forests and lagoon-like landscapes
Situated in a nature reserve on Lake Petén, these spacious freestanding bungalows are the perfect place to press pause, detox, and slow down. The tastefully decorated eco-suites are all connected by wooden boardwalks that weave through jungly lagoons to the hotel's communal areas.
Subtle colors, nature photography, and calming furniture create spaces of modern simplicity—a luscious jungle retreat to chill and press pause.
“The idea was to create something like the parks in Africa where animals are in their natural habitat, with structures that become a part of the surroundings causing the least impact and with this show people from all over the world our beautiful and diverse Guatemala and especially Petén. This is how Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel emerged, which I am certain will leave great memories and experiences in all those who visit us.”
—Edgar Castillo Sinibaldi, Owner of Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel
