Casa Varuna offers eight unique suites set across three private residences. Each space blends natural materials, Guatemalan textiles, and curated artwork with views of gardens and terraces, to create a peaceful and intimate retreat. Designed by a Spanish architect, the residences combine contemporary European influences with Antigua's Spanish colonial character and volcanic stone drawn from the surrounding landscape.
Mornings begin with birdsong and peaceful views, while the rhythm of the day unfolds among lush gardens and thoughtfully designed spaces. Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, our retreat offers a sense of privacy and calm just moments from the heart of Antigua. As evening falls, watch the sky glow behind the city's iconic volcanoes from your terrace, then settle into the quiet luxury of Casa Varuna.
Wake to panoramic views of tropical lush greenery, framed by volcanic silhouettes. As daylight fades, the landscape transforms into brilliant sunsets and starlit skies. On clear evenings, the night offers a remarkable sight of glowing red lava from the Volcán de Fuego, against the dark expanse of the horizon.
Behind Casa Varuna is a family with a passion for travel, design, and craftsmanship. Handwoven Guatemalan textiles, original artwork, photography, and carefully collected pieces gathered through the family's travels, creates spaces that feel personal, refined, and authentic.
The art of staying is creating a place you'll never want to leave. At Casa Varuna, the comfort and proportions of a private residence, paired with personalized hospitality, and the quiet luxury of privacy, invite you to settle in—not as a hotel guest, but as though this beautiful home were your own. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, complemented by the attentive service of a boutique retreat.
Each of our eight suites offers its own distinct character, blending thoughtful design, natural textures, and peaceful surroundings. Whether you prefer an intimate cocoon garden view or an expansive terrace retreat, discover the sanctuary that feels just right for you.
A few reflections from guests who have stayed with us.
I loved this place! My family of four and I stayed here for a destination wedding and we couldn't be happier. The accommodation is a few kilometers from central park.
Great place to stay. Incredible rooms and common areas. *You have to be careful with the indoor pool if you have small children.
If you are looking at this place, BOOK IT! Incredible decor, fantastic little touches like - great sheets, beautiful towels, boutique bathroom and shampoo - I found a shop a few blocks away for small groceries etc.
Highly recommended to stay at this place. It’s even nicer in person; it feels very warm and home-like. The neighborhood is lovely and it is very well equipped.
This house truly feels like a home away from home! It’s a fantastic house in a perfect location. I highly recommend it.
