Villas B’alam Ya
Charming villas perched on the eastern shore of Lake Atitlán
B’alam Ya is a collection of charming villas perched on the eastern shore of Lake Atitlán, between the towns of Panajachel and Santa Catarina Palopó. Each villa is tucked into its own private corner of lush tropical foliage, with sweeping views of the lake and its three majestic volcanoes.
The property sits away from town and traffic, offering a genuine sense of peace and seclusion. Designed as a space where privacy and connection coexist, B’alam Ya is ideal for couples, families, groups of friends, and retreat gatherings alike — children and pets are welcome.
From the moment you arrive, our attentive full-time staff are here to ensure your comfort, privacy, and security throughout your stay. Guests are invited to relax in the lakeside mirador — the highest point on the property — with a welcome drink while your villa is prepared.

Our Villas At A Glance
Villa Shakti
Light-filled and newly built, Shakti’s vaulted ceilings, forged metal chandeliers, and panoramic lake views make it a villa where angels, they say, keep watch.
Villa Mirador
Our largest villa, Mirador sleeps seven across two floors of generous living space, with a fireplace, an oversized jacuzzi, and the most sweeping elevated views on the property.
Villa Bambu
A two-floor villa tucked at mid-property with a fireplace, private jacuzzi, and a morning soundtrack of birdsong — with the beach just steps away.
Villa Soluna
A serene single-level retreat for two, Soluna draws the eye from entry to picture window, with a jungle terrace perfect for coffee at dawn or cocktails at dusk.
Villa Jade
Intimate, cabin-style, and enduringly romantic, Jade is the villa most often chosen for proposals and love escapes — wake to volcanoes, stroll to the beach.
Villa Loft
A relaxed apartment at the heart of the lower property, with the restaurant, beach, and gardens all just moments away.
Villa Gio
Wrapped in cypress-framed picture windows and anchored by a circular sun deck, Gio is one of our newest villas — architecturally striking and quietly dazzling.
