Where life finds a slower rhythm.
A privately-run lakeside community between San Marcos and Tzununá, where thoughtfully designed homes, lush gardens, and Lake Atitlán invite you to slow down and stay awhile.
Pasajcap is more than a collection of homes. It’s a place where mornings begin with birdsong, work finds its natural rhythm, and the lake is never far away. Some guests stay for a month. Others arrive for a season and end up staying much longer than planned.
Where the gardens meet the lake
Two hectares of terraced gardens stretch gently to the water, connecting private homes with quiet paths, flowering plants, shaded palapas, and swimming docks. Every home has its own outdoor space, yet the whole property feels connected by nature.
Homes designed to be lived in
Seventeen houses, cottages, and lofts are built from local stone and tropical cedar, blending naturally into the hillside. Every home is fully equipped for comfortable long stays, with its own kitchen, outdoor space, and views of the lake or surrounding gardens. A few also enjoy private pools.
The dock, and the long afternoons
Some afternoons begin with a swim from the dock. Others end in a hammock beneath the trees, a paddle across the lake, or a quiet evening by the fire. There is no schedule here—only the freedom to find your own rhythm.

A place for creative people
Writers, artists, therapists, entrepreneurs, and professionals from around the world come here for focus, beauty, and a slower pace of life.
Homes made for staying awhile
Different homes for different budgets, all sharing the same thoughtful design, peaceful setting, and sense of belonging.
Small moments, collected slowly.
A place people return to
Pasajcap grew slowly over more than a decade, shaped one home at a time by a French designer working alongside local Mayan craftsmen. Once a coffee plantation, the property evolved with the land rather than following a master plan, each new home finding its place naturally. The original coffee bushes still grow among the gardens today, quietly linking the land’s past with its present.
Today, Pasajcap remains privately owned and personally cared for. Every home, path, and garden is maintained with the same attention that went into creating it.
Many guests arrive for a short stay and find themselves changing their plans.
“We came for a week and stayed a month.”
