A place unlike any other
Discover the most authentic side of the Mexican Caribbean.
Holbox is a small island in the Mexican Caribbean where life moves slowly.
Sandy streets, bicycles instead of cars, and turquoise waters that seem to stretch on forever.
There’s no rush here. Meals are savored, walks are aimless, and sleep comes with the sound of the wind.
The infrastructure is simple, but enough: local markets, unpaved roads, small restaurants, and skies still full of stars.
By day, you can explore quiet beaches, visit nature reserves—or simply do nothing at all.
At sunset, Punta Cocos is painted in color, and by night—if you’re lucky—the sea glows with bioluminescence.
Holbox is for those who know that true rest doesn’t need filters… and never did.

It’s the kind of place you come to when you need a real pause — from the noise, from time, from everything.
Things to Do in Holbox
In Holbox, every day holds something different. You can swim with whale sharks during the season, explore the nearby islands — Isla Pájaros, Isla Pasión, and Yalahau — or walk across shallow crystal waters at Punta Mosquito. The island is car-free, best explored by bike or golf cart, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the ride. Sunsets are a daily ritual, bioluminescence lights up the sea on moonless nights, and flamingos make their seasonal appearance in the warmer months. You’ll also find a fresh, ocean-inspired food scene that encourages you to slow down, eat well, and savor the moment.
