Retreat location
Isla Holbox has all the “private island feels” and is absolutely breathtaking! It is a tropical paradise torn straight from the pages of a storybook with white sand beaches that extend as far as the eye can see, azure waters, swaying coconut palms, and there are no cars on this island!
Isla Holbox has sandy streets, colorful Caribbean buildings, and the only way to get around is either on foot or by golf cart. The hotels here are a collection of 2 story thatched-roof bungalows scattered along the beach. The downtown area offers many great local restaurants and bars to enjoy. Again, the streets are beach sand, so you can go everywhere barefoot!
The Wall Street Journal calls Holbox “a rare find: an under-the-radar getaway,” and it sure is! The best part is that it is only a few hours' drive + ferry ride from Cancun, yet it feels like you are on a remote island in the middle of nowhere. Come to relax, unwind, and get away from it all, and experience all that Isla Holbox has to offer.
