SLEEP ACCOMMODATIONS
Isla Holbox is a small island off the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean Sea. Known for its relaxed pace and biodiversity, it draws visitors looking to disconnect, explore nature, or enjoy outdoor activities.
There are three main areas to stay. The town center offers walkable access to the beach, ferry, restaurants, and shops, with accommodations ranging from hostels to boutique hotels. East of town, the Hotel Zone stretches toward Punta Mosquito, and features higher-end boutique hotels, eco-luxury resorts, and private beachfront bungalows, suited for those seeking quiet and ocean views. On the western end, Punta Cocos is a little more remote, with eco-lodges and rustic-chic cabins, popular for its natural setting and bioluminescence at night.
