Anzan Atitlan, which means 'peaceful mountain' in Buddhist terminology, is a serene sanctuary at Lake Atitlan, transcending the typical lodging experience to embody a deep life philosophy. Conceived and crafted by Dita, a nomadic traveler from the Czech Republic, this retreat, known locally as "Casa Rosada' or the pink house, extends beyond the usual. Since 2004, Dita has passionately worked with Ecolibri, a non-profit organization supported by Anzan Atitlan, focusing on improving the local Guatemalan communities through sustainable education and nutrition programs. At Anzan Atitlan, we embrace the Ikigai philosophy, creating a haven for holistic healing and living in tune with nature. This approach offers personalized experiences that nourish the soul.

Committed to the principle of 'less is more,' we at Anzan Atitlan focus on delivering high-quality personal services that align with our guests' desire for balance, happiness, and a meaningful life.
