Isla Holbox is an island north of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, in Quintana Roo State. It's part of the Yum Balam Nature Reserve and separated from the mainland by the Yalahau Lagoon, which is home to flamingos and pelicans. The island is between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, with waters rich in marine life, including sea turtles. Island highlights include laid-back Holbox Village and Punta Coco Beach.
Most of the people of Holbox Island make their living fishing. It is common to see fishermen walking through Holbox Village with their catch of the day or carrying their nets. The streets of Holbox Island are made of white sand, common of Caribbean islands, and there are very few cars. Holbox is considered a virgin tourist destination because very few outsiders visit the island. In spite of Holbox' natural beauty, inaccessibility has left it unspoiled by mass tourism.
Fly to Holbox from Playa del Carmen and Cancun. You can visit the beautiful island for just one day!
