Los Elementos is located in Santa Cruz la Laguna, the most beautiful and tranquil village on the lake. It is the perfect base for exploring the lake and it’s Mayan villages. Spend the days hiking the mountains and volcanoes that surround the lake, or relax with a day of pampering at our on-site spa.
Enjoy a morning swim in the lake, a mid-day kayak tour, and an afternoon siesta in a hammock. Imagine awaking each morning to the sight of majestic volcanoes just outside your window, the sounds of tropical birds, and the taste of fresh fruit grown on the property. Spanish language school nearby.

Sailboat, pontoon boat, or wave runner are available for exploring the further reaches of the lake for additional rental fees. This property is only accessible by boat, so the quiet tranquility, nature, and privacy are unparalleled to none.
