Set in the rainforest high above the shores of Lago Petén Itzá is La Lancha, a quaint, 10-room lodge decorated with artwork and furniture from Bali, as well as fabrics and carvings from Guatemala personally selected by the Coppola family. Beyond the clear water of the lake is Tikal, the epicenter of Mayan spirituality. Buried deep within the rainforest, the ruins include more than 3,000 structures where moss clings to the steps of ancient temples and plazas. The lodge is located an hour away from the Belize border and only a 45-minute drive from the magnificent Maya ruins of Tikal and the Maya Biosphere Reserve.
The in-room amenities include bathrobes, safety deposit box, stocked refrigerator, wireless internet, telephone for communicating with reception, air-conditioning, writing table & chair, in-room dining and organic, locally sourced, handmade toiletries. Facilities include a gift shop, patio, restaurant and bar all under its towering thatch roof. The open plan design offers beautiful panoramic views of the lake and jungle canopy below. The lodge’s patio features a small library decorated with native art furnishings and is a popular place for guests to access the complimentary Wi-Fi or relax with a book in the plush armchairs.
