Learn more about Isla Holbox

Barefoot luxury awaits on this car-free island where golf carts and bicycles rule the sandy streets. Wade into the shallow turquoise waters at Punta Mosquito Beach to spot pink flamingos posing elegantly in the distance. From June to September, join boat tours for the rare thrill of swimming alongside gentle whale sharks. After sunset, certain beaches reveal magical bioluminescence that makes the water glow with each splash. The Holbox Letters provide the obligatory photo op, while hammocks strung between palms offer the perfect spot to devour just-caught lobster. When not beach-hopping between Holbox Beach and Punta Coco, explore the island's small downtown for colourful murals and seafood shacks serving ceviche worth writing home about.
