Machu Pichu Studio
An intimate space located next to the Buddha Garden. It features a double bed, a private bathroom, an open-plan kitchen, and direct access to the pool
The decision to create Villa Azul was born many years ago during a trip to Peru, specifically to Machu Picchu. For us, the MACHU PICCHU STUDIO evokes two spiritual concepts that, in one way or another, appear in everyone’s life at some point: maha vidya, the inner revelation that clearly shows us which path to follow, and adhittana, the firm determination to remain true to a purpose without wavering. Both concepts may seem lofty or abstract, but what would we be without them? How would we choose what to do with our lives? Or how would we bring our life projects to fruition?
The renowned city of Machu Picchu is called the “City of the Clouds” in the Sacred Valley of the Incas due to its high, remote, and inhospitable location in the Andes Mountains. Because of its difficult access, this religious, urban, and agricultural center was never conquered, not even by the Spanish.
After the fall of the Inca Empire, the city was abandoned and forgotten, remaining hidden under vegetation for more than three centuries until its rediscovery in the 20th century, which astonished explorers and historians. How could something so vast have remained invisible to the eyes of the world?
In a way, this story serves as a metaphor: most of the time, what is revealed to us in a moment of inspiration — what in the yogic tradition is called Maha Vidya, the inner revelation — is not something new, but something that has always been there. It is the memory of who we have always wanted to be, what comes naturally to us, and what gives meaning to our lives. Surprisingly, these essential truths are often buried beneath thoughts, fears, and worries that grow like weeds, hiding the truest parts of ourselves.

An intimate space located next to the Buddha Garden. It has two beds, private bathroom, kitchenette and direct access to the pool. The determination to create Villa Azul arose during a trip to Peru, specifically in Machu Picchu, the so-called city of the clouds in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Due to its remote and inhospitable location, this religious, urban and agricultural center was never conquered, not even by the Spanish. After the fall of the Inca Empire, the city was abandoned and forgotten and remained hidden for more than three centuries by the undergrowth until it was disinter in the 20th century. For us, Machu Picchu evokes two spiritual concepts: the divine revelation or maha vidya; and adhittana, the firm determination to be true to an idea or purpose without wavering. Both seem like very lofty and abstract notions, and yet what would anyone's life be without them? Most of the time what is shown before our eyes in a revelation is something that was always there without us seeing it: what we have always wanted to do or what we have always wanted to feel. Essential things that we have always known deep down but that remained buried by other thoughts, fears and occupations that naturally tend to grow like weeds.
