Francis Ford Coppola's hotel above Lake Petén Itzá in Guatemala, a lake said to have magical powers, is 45 minutes from the Tikal ruins, where Mayan pyramids emerge from the rainforest. Hammocks on private decks, visiting howler monkeys, canoes on the lake, taco-making workshops, and a traditional temazcal sauna. A very good reason to reach this part of eastern Guatemala.

a long weekend, a week
Francis Ford Coppola above Lake Petén Itzá. Tikal is 45 minutes away.
On the water, slow travel
8:36 AM
Hear the chatter of parakeets, ground doves and the occasional call of the resident howler monkey over plates of fresh tropical fruit and pastries.
10:01 AM
Head out on the lake in your canoe to get up close to the water, which is said to have magical powers – a dip here definitely feels pretty great.
11:45 AM
Head to the restaurant for chilaquiles in the open-air restaurant and then back to your hammock for a nap.
5:30 PM
This tour offers special access to the magical Maya site of Tikal at dusk. And you're back in time for cocktail hour, win-win.
6:38 PM
Enjoy an evening game of Bocce – an Italian version of pétanque and a Coppola Family favourite – followed by a drink down at the lakefront bar.
7:30 PM
Enjoy fresh-caught lake fish for supper, or tenderloin cooked on the Perillan grill. We love the pairing of Coppola wines.
