An eco-retreat in paradise
The Bambu Guest House is a stunning naturally-built retreat center for Permaculture and regenerative living on the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
The Bambu Guest House opened in 2015 as a site to house the permaculture volunteers and course participants of Atitlan Organics Permaculture Farm.. As such, the guest house embodies the commitment to sustainable design and regenerative living that runs through permaculture, and we strive to educate and inspire our guests to discover new ways of incorporating sustainability into their own lives. While we do host groups that are not dedicated to permaculture, it is impossible to deny the influence of this philosophy on what the Bambu Guest House is.
Gourmet farm to table meals
Our Farm-to-table restaurant, supplied by Atitlan Organics Permaculture farm and other local providers, serves up delicious and filling plates. Currently, Atitlan Organics supplies all of the milk, salads, cooking greens, honey, coffee, chicken, taro root, pigeon peas, and herbs to the restaurant. The restaurant is run by three young, local, aspiring chefs named Antonio, Reynaldo, and Rodrigo. They are amazing! Who knew natural could be so beautiful?
Accomodations
Our large shared rooms are designed for relaxing and recharging: bright, spacious, and airy, they’re the perfect place to retire after a day of inspiration. Our commitment to natural building means that each room is constructed from bamboo, wood, stone and glass, seamlessly blending sustainability with luxury. Each room has its own full bathroom with hot water, a balcony with hammock, wifi, comfy beds and amazing views. Hang out on your own balcony and watch the sunset over Lake Atitlan, or enjoy a hot shower and movie in the comfort within. River sounds and bird song are your soundtrack.
