Secluded and tranquil lakeside lodge with stylish modern décor and decked relaxation areas overlooking the lagoon.

This tranquil jungle lodge is located on a private nature reserve on the shores of shady Petenchel and Monifata lakes. Villa Milla is ten minutes’ drive from Flores and 45 minutes from the majestic Mayan site of Tikal.

The lodge has bright rooms within octagonal blocks or cabins, each with air-con, ceiling fan, private bathroom and small balcony. In keeping with the tranquil atmosphere, there are no TVs.

The hotel is surrounded by beautiful, tropical gardens and benefits from magnificent lake views. Facilities include an attractive swimming pool, thatched restaurant and a bar overlooking the lake, which is home to crocodiles so strictly no swimming allowed.

There are over 10km of well-marked trails to explore and the lodge also has its own deer enclosure. Mountain bikes and horses can be hired.
