Isla Holbox Travel Guide: 68 reviews and 117 photos

Holbox Island, Mexico
Holbox Island is not for everyone. It is a unique destination, unspoiled by mass tourism, and is a quiet place to enjoy nature and relax. Located northwest of Cancun off the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Holbox touches both the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Though just 45 nautical miles from glittering Cancun, the two islands could not be more different.

Holbox Island is the best kept secret in Mexico. It is wild and primitive and undeveloped. A world of seabirds, ocean breezes and dazzling white sand. A world where birding, diving and fishing are enjoyed in near perfect isolation. Holbox Village is small, but offers the basic amenities necessary for a relaxing island vacation, including comfortable accommodations at many small hotels on the Island.

TRANSPORTATION

There are no cars on the Island. You have to get around the Island by foot, ride a bike or rent a Golf car

Virgin Beaches

Beautiful beaches ..................full of beautiful sea shells.
