1147,  Boutique Hotel/Retreat For Sale Turnkey in Tzununa with outstanding views

$ 1,800,000
This luxurious, 10-room, 3.5-acre, well-established hotel & retreat centre is for sale on the famous Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, offering an amazing investment in a successful turn-key business. It perches on the hillside overlooking this world-famous Lake and its sentinel volcanoes in the increasingly popular village of Tzununa. Floating 100m up above the lake this property offers undoubtedly some of the most spectacular, 180° and more, views of the whole caldera area.

The property is formed of two sections: one is the hotel itself along with the staff accommodation, swimming pool, retreat room, and sauna. The second part is the private part with a beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, where the current owners live, and which could be used by the new owner or manager, and/or staff of the hotel. It has its own private pool and is surrounded by lush, colourful gardens.

HOTEL / RETREAT CENTRE

The successful hotel/retreat opened to the public in 2005 and because of its unique position and the fact that it was the only hotel in the village of Tzununa at that time, it soon became very popular. Tzununa village is becoming a popular destination for Lake Atitlan and so the hotel’s popularity continues.

The property is a series of structures built into the hillside, with each room/cabin offering the most amazing views from dawn to dusk. The restaurant/social area has a huge deck up above the pool with a view of even more than 180° view!

There is a full, professional kitchen, and staff quarters next door. Beside the pool is a sauna (known as a Temascal in Guatemala), and recently added is a large space to accommodate workshops for retreat groups. This also has a balcony with jaw-dropping views. The Retreat space is fully equipped with yoga mats, wooden props, and bolsters, as well as some tables and chairs.

Via the road access, the property has a large garage space of, just beyond the main entrance to the hotel area.

TZUNUNÁ

The village of Tzununá is one of the hidden gems of Lake Atitlan and is now becoming one of the most popular villages to visit. It is accessible most easily by boat (25-45 mins depending on whether it is a direct private or a public boat/lancha) from Panajachel (Pana). This is the main economic and transport hub for the Lake.

However, it is also now possible to drive there with a 4×4 vehicle taking the road at kilometre 140 on the Interamericana Highway going to San José Chacayá, then through Chuitzanchaj, until you arrive in Tzununá. It is for the last part of the road that a 4×4 vehicle is needed (there are plans to pave this part of the road).

It is close to the holistic centre of Lake Atitlan and Guatemala, San Marcos la Laguna, however more tranquil.

Pana is a 2.5-hour drive from the Guatemalan international airport which is in Guatemala City. Tzununá is 3-4 hours depending on which route you take.
