About Casa Floresta

Casa Floresta was designed by Kula co-Founder Hayley Saraswati, who also created and Founded The Yoga Forest in 2013. Hayley had a dream of finding a beautiful lake property to bring the offerings of Forest Path, Sound Ceremony and Kula Collective together outside of the noise of the local villages, and in letting go of her beloved Yoga Forest, was able to create the inspiring Casa Floresta in 2022 with its gorgeous Lake Temple. 

Casa Floresta is a little piece of lakefront heaven just between San Marcos la Laguna and Tzununá, in a majestic quiet cove, where you will find peace and tranquility in luxurious accommodations, incredible lake and volcano views, and a beautiful Temple conducive for retreats and trainings. Collaborating with the neighboring property of Casa Colibri, where combined they can offer up to 11 bedrooms, two kitchens, two private docks, 6 paddleboards, 120 meters of lake frontage, full housekeeping service, and a private chef for catering.
