What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Just a few minutes outside of Antigua’s city center is a hacienda-style estate spanning six acres of parkland, a setting that belies Villa Bokéh’s atmosphere of contemporary cool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked into a quiet residential enclave, the estate sits a ten-minute drive from the cobbled streets and colonial ruins of Antigua.
The rooms
Suites pair terracotta floors and dark wooden beams with vintage Mayan textiles, intentionally omitting televisions for quiet volcano views.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is lined with daybeds and blue parasols, flanked by dual hot and cold whirlpool tubs.
The spa & gym
At the table
Bokéh 3.1 serves Guatemalan-nouvelle cuisine on a terrace overlooking the lagoon, and Casa Cristal operates inside a sunlit glasshouse.
How it began
Guatemalan hotelier Grupo Alta rescued a neglected artist residence, restoring the historic hacienda into a secluded highland retreat framed by botanical grounds.
