This Car-free Island in Mexico Has Incredible Beaches With Bioluminescent Waters — and Beautiful Boutique Hotels

Here's how to plan the perfect trip to Isla Holbox.

Stepping onto the shores of Isla Holbox is like entering a secret club you wish you'd heard about years ago. At 26 miles long and only one mile wide, this skinny fingernail of an island is located off the northern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula , right where the turquoise of the Caribbean Sea swirls into the green of the Gulf of Mexico. Sandy streets, buildings bathed in Caribbean colors, and the sputter of golf carts — one of the main modes of transportation on the island — set the tone for a place unlike many others in Mexico. 

Julie Bendlin/Getty Images

Truth be told, Isla Holbox is less of the rustic island escape it used to be. The allure of its Instagrammable hammock groves, yoga pavilions, and palapa-thatched bungalows worked well, and today, there are considerably more tourists and mainstream hotels than in years past. Still, this sun-soaked island, where cars are unwelcome and bare feet are preferred, is a worthy getaway from the mainland crowds of Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum.

How to Get to Isla Holbox

Part of the charm of Isla Holbox is the legwork required to get there. The distance from Cancún helps to weed out the volume and preserve an idyllic atmosphere. Isla Holbox has a tiny airport for private planes, but most travelers will first land in Cancún. From there, you can drive or hop on the ADO bus to the port town of Chiquilá, the last mainland stop before Isla Holbox.

If you rent a vehicle, you'll have to leave it in Chiquilá since Isla Holbox is car-free. There are small lots where parking fees are negotiable. You can take a taxi to the ferry terminal, but be prepared for steep fares. ADO is the most convenient and cost-effective option. 

ADO is one of the largest bus companies in southern Mexico. Its buses — which run to Chiquilá from around the Cancún region, including the downtown terminal, airport, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum — are safe and comfortable with wide, reclining seats and air conditioning. You can book tickets online, via the ADO app, or at the ticket counter at various bus stations. For reference, one-way tickets from Cancún to Chiquilá cost around 350 pesos (roughly $20), and the ride takes about two hours.

The next step is to hop aboard the ferry that leaves every hour from Chiquilá to Isla Holbox. The ride is a 15-minute skip across the calm channel on a comfortable (and air-conditioned) catamaran. Tickets are around 220 pesos (roughly $13).

Best Things to Do on Isla Holbox

It's easy to see why Isla Holbox was a backpacker's paradise for so long. Sandy streets are lined with thatched-roof buildings splashed in electric colors like neon green, pink, turquoise, and canary yellow. Visitors and residents get around using golf carts, ATVs, and beach-cruiser bikes, while rhythmic island music spills out of open-air cantinas. 

The island’s buzzy Centro district can feel overwhelming for travelers looking to slip off the grid. But if you venture to the furthest beaches from downtown, you'll be able to find a slice of solitude.

One thing cannot be denied about Isla Holbox, though — its beaches are spectacular . Your first stop should be Punta Mosquito, which sits at the tip of the elbow-like bend on the island's northernmost point. Silky white sand and gradients of crystal-to-turquoise water extend as far as the eye can see. It's a good spot to pause and get acclimated to "island time," which is very much a thing here.

No matter where you stay on the island, you will be blown away by the powdery beaches and calm, shallow, impossibly clear water. Most of the water around Isla Holbox is only about waist-deep, and you'll find colorful groves of sea hammocks to wade out to.

While the energy on the island is relaxed, those who want a bit of activity will find plenty to do. Perhaps one of the top reasons people visit Isla Holbox is to see the magnificent whale sharks between mid-May and mid-September. These gentle giants, which can grow to 40 feet long, migrate to the area to mate and feast on plankton during the summer. Eco-friendly tour operators like VIP Holbox Experience take curious adventurers out to safely and ethically swim alongside these beautiful creatures — some of the largest animals on the planet. Keep your eyes peeled for other gorgeous marine life, like sea turtles and manta rays.

The calm coastline is perfect for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders. And if you're lucky, you might see the waters around the island's southern shores light up when the sun goes down, thanks to the ethereal glow of bioluminescent plankton. Tip: the best time to see this phenomenon is between July and January. 

No matter the time of year you visit, pack mosquito repellent. The island is part of the Yum Balam Nature Reserve, which consists of wetlands, mangroves, and lowland jungle where mosquitos thrive.

Where to Eat on Isla Holbox

Most of Isla Holbox's restaurants and bars are located in the Centro district. This is the most congested part of the island, but it's also the most densely concentrated in terms of restaurant variety.

As you might expect, the best things to eat on Isla Holbox come from the sea. Whether you're dining on sea bass sashimi at Ser Esencia or folding up slices of wood-fired lobster pizza at rustic-bohemian Roots , the local seafood is delicious.

The fresh flavors continue as you tuck into tasty, plump, and succulent meat-and-veggie tacos at Barba Negra . You can snack on ceviche while digging your toes into the sand from a swing seat at the beachfront bar and restaurant Raices. Las Panchas is an island favorite, particularly for the fish and shrimp tacos. Regulars also love Milpa , a family-run restaurant known for its top-tier tasting menus, fit for a Michelin-starred dining room but in a decidedly laid-back setting.

Best Places to Stay on Isla Holbox

Courtesy of Ser Casasandra

Hotels on Isla Holbox range from eco-lodges to beachfront boutique hotels. And even though the island has become well known, a boho vibe permeates.

Luxury travel company Journey Mexico sends its clients to Ser Casasandra for the best overall experience, dining, and service. The focus on art at this boutique hotel is meant to make guests feel like they're staying in a beachfront gallery with supreme ocean views. Rooms are rustic-chic, with tile floors, crisp white linens, and exposed ceiling beams.

For a romantic getaway, Nômade Holbox offers 30 suites made with sustainable materials. For those who remember the "before" days of Tulum, this hotel will feel familiar — jungle tree houses, oceanfront suites, and luxury glamping tents help guests connect with nature. Every angle of the hotel is like a picture-perfect shot on a highly curated Instagram feed.

"Even if you're not staying there, it's worth stopping by for a day pass or lunch or dinner," said Zach Rabinor, CEO and founder of Journey Mexico. "It's a privileged location, the architecture is truly admirable, and their wellness program is very special."

Rabinor points to Nômade Holbox as one of the best places to dine on the island. Tip: order the restaurant's signature Chilly Queen cocktail (Ojo de Tigre mezcal, Ancho Reyes liqueur, strawberry, basil, cranberry juice, and sour orange).

Head away from downtown to discover Punta Caliza . Suites topped with A-frame palapa roofs sit clustered around a shallow turquoise pool, so it feels like a secret aquatic village. Inside, the rooms are evocative of cozy bungalows, with tile floors, wooden accents, and crisp, white linens.

Perhaps the furthest you can get from town is the Robinson Crusoe-style Las Nubes . This hotel provides an edge-of-the-earth feeling, as it's the last stop on the island before the beach is swallowed up by mangrove jungle. A collection of thatched-roof bungalows is clustered around a small pool. The Master Suites are the accommodations to book here, thanks to their bright, airy spaces and terraces with ocean views. Wade out to the sandbar to savor the gorgeous turquoise waters. While the island's vibe has changed in recent decades, this spot proves you can still find pockets of peace.

The best tips and travel guide for Holbox Island

Ferries to Isla Holbox

Only a short boat ride to the island, by ferry from chiquilá to isla holbox.

This article contains affiliate links. What does that mean?

Now it is almost done! Arrived in Chiquilá , a (former) small fishing village, it continues to the port . There are two ferry companies that cross to Holbox Island every 30 minutes . The first ferry leaves at 6:00 am and the last at 9:30 pm (as of May 2024).

Tickets for the ferries

It doesn’t matter if you take the “ Holbox Express ” or the “ 9 Hermanos ” ferry, the duration and the price are the same for both. Currently, the ticket costs 300 MXN (18 USD / 14 GBP) and after a travel time of about 25 minutes you will arrive at the port of Holbox.

You can buy the tickets directly at the pier at the counters next to the small supermarket. If you are traveling by ADO bus, it is also possible that tickets will be offered on the bus during the trip for the same price. If you prefer to book your tickets online in advance, you can do so conveniently at Bookaway . It can be even cheaper and you will avoid the often long queues at the ticket counter.

The crossing

Boarding is only possible a few minutes before the scheduled departure. While luggage is loaded in the front part of the ship, passengers can board in the rear part. There is an air-conditioned interior and an open upper deck . If the weather is bad, it is better to go inside, where it can be a bit noisy due to the blaring advertisements on the monitors. Otherwise, you’ll be fine on the top deck, where you can also enjoy the beautiful view. Do not underestimate the strong sunlight here, and apply a good sunscreen, even if the crossing is only short.

Dogs are allowed on the ferry. However, they must travel on the upper deck and be kept on a leash.

Arriving at the port of Holbox Island

After the ferry has docked at the port of Holbox and you have disembarked, it is best to line up for a taxi in the large covered waiting area of the harbor. It doesn’t take long to be assigned a golf cart taxi. There are very few cars on the island. Depending on the distance and time, the taxi will cost you about 100-200 MXN (6-12 USD / 5-10 GBP) and will bump you along the sandy, potholed roads, as you will not find paved roads here.

The longed-for accommodation can be reached in a few minutes from the port, no matter where it is located. Now you can relax and refresh yourself after the long journey.

Impressions from the crossing

From the departure in Chiquilá to the arrival in the port of Holbox:

Overnight in Chiquilá

If you are unlucky enough to miss the last ferry , or if the weather is exceptionally so bad that there is no ferry, you will have no choice but to spend the night in Chiquilá . Near the harbor are the Hotel Pelicano and Casa Mary , and about 0.6 mi from there are the Mayan Villas and the much more modern Villas Yalahau and Villas Ixchel . The prices are about 37-65 USD (28-52 GBP) and you should not expect too much comfort. The choice of restaurants and their quality is also very limited. It is best to go to bed early and catch one of the first ferries the next morning.

Return from Holbox to Chiquilá

Ferries also run in the opposite direction every 30 minutes . The first ferry from Holbox to Chiquilá leaves at 5:00 am (the second only at 6:00 am) and the last at 10:00 pm . Of course, there may be variations depending on the season and weather conditions. Short term changes are usually announced first on the Facebook pages of Barcos Holbox Express and 9Hermanos Holbox . It is recommended to check these pages in case of doubt. You can also conveniently book your return tickets online in advance.

Review of the Journey

Here you can go back to the previous sections of the journey:

Finding Home and Purpose: My Journey to Living on Holbox Island During COVID

Have you ever dreamed of leaving your daily routine behind and immersing yourself in a remote paradise? That's precisely what happened to me during the COVID-19 pandemic, as I found myself living on Holbox Island in Mexico. It all started with a vacation, but it turned into a life-changing adventure filled with newfound purpose, connections, and unforgettable experiences. Falling in Love with Holbox My story begins with my very first visit to Holbox Island. I was instantly captivated by its laid-back, no-frills atmosphere. The island, just 26 miles long and one mile wide, offers a unique blend of sandy streets, colorful buildings, and the ubiquitous golf carts that serve as the primary mode of transportation. But what truly stole my heart was the sense of community that permeated every corner of the island. From the moment I arrived, it felt like everyone knew me, and I, in turn, felt like I had found my second home. Holbox was unlike anywhere I had ever been. Little did I know that this enchanting island would become my refuge during the global upheaval caused by the pandemic. The Decision to Stay When COVID-19 began to spread worldwide, I was on my second visit to Holbox. As the situation escalated, I contemplated returning to the United States, where I had a job and a life waiting for me. But a conversation with my cousin changed everything. She reminded me that there was no rush to leave paradise, and that's when it hit me: Why not stay a bit longer, embrace this unique opportunity, and truly immerse myself in the island's culture? One of my initial concerns was the availability of stable internet connections for remote work. I vividly remember hopping from one coffee shop to another, from beach bars to hotel restaurants, just to connect to Zoom for meetings. Thanks to some friendly locals, I was introduced to the island's first internet provider, and soon enough, I had a modem and router installed in my new apartment. Living the Dream From that point on, I became a true islander. My life revolved around exploring Holbox, learning Spanish, and working remotely from my cozy apartment. I couldn't have imagined a more fulfilling existence. Over the course of the next five months, I forged deep connections with fellow New Yorkers who, like me, had chosen to embrace this extraordinary island as their new home. While my friends and family may have thought I was taking a huge risk, I had never felt more alive. Holbox was my haven, a place where character and connection mattered more than material wealth or where you came from. It was a community where locals and tourists dined and shopped together, a stark contrast to some tourist-heavy destinations in Mexico. Making Holbox My Home After five magical months on Holbox, I realized that I needed to stop saying I was "on vacation." Holbox had become my new home, and I was ready to fully commit to this new chapter of my life. I decided to quit my job back in the United States, choosing a path less traveled—taking a year off to discover my true calling. During that year, I immersed myself in the local economy, volunteered with businesses, and dabbled in various roles, from waitressing to event planning. It was during this time that my friends surprised me with the gift of a concierge website for my birthday. I realized that my true passion lay in creating unforgettable experiences, connecting people, and exploring the world. Holbox Concierge: A Dream Come True Teaming up with a developer and social media expert, we launched Holbox Concierge—a dream project that aimed to showcase the island's wonders to the world. As our website and Instagram presence grew, so did my responsibilities. I found myself organizing weddings, planning events, and living a life that felt far from work. My guiding principle was to support and employ as many locals as possible, bridging the gap between travelers and the incredible culture of Holbox. I believed that everyone who came to the island was destined to be there for a reason, experiencing something truly extraordinary. Lessons Learned Holbox wasn't just a place; it was a teacher. It offered me countless life lessons, from the joy of catching my first fish to moments of introspection and healing. I cherished every sunset and woke up early for sunrise, relishing the simple pleasures of life. I learned that true happiness came from living life on my terms, not following a predefined path. Holbox allowed me to connect with people from around the world who shared my thirst for exploration. It reminded me that the world was vast and full of wonders waiting to be discovered. Most importantly, it taught me that a simple life, characterized by genuine connections and a sense of purpose, was the life worth living. So, thank you, Holbox, for enabling me to take risks, live freely, and find my true calling. You are the magic that I never knew I needed, a place where dreams come true, and where life's greatest lessons are learned. In Holbox, I found home, purpose, and a life beyond my wildest dreams—a life well worth living.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Isla Holbox

Sailing Boats: If you’re in search of a traditional, intimate sailing experience, our fleet of sailing boats may be your best bet. These vessels are perfect for the purist who enjoys feeling every ripple and wave. They offer an exhilarating, authentic sailing experience, allowing you to connect deeply with the ocean. Despite their smaller size compared to catamarans, they come with well-designed, cozy interiors that ensure comfort during your sailing trip. Sailing boats are great for those who want to experience the thrill of navigating and steering a course powered by the wind.

Catamarans: For those who prefer a smoother, more stable experience, our range of catamarans may be the ideal choice. Their dual-hull design offers greater stability than traditional sailing boats, which means less rolling and better comfort, especially for those who are prone to seasickness. Catamarans also provide a larger deck space, ideal for sunbathing, relaxing or enjoying on-board entertainment with your group. Thanks to their shallow draft, catamarans are perfect for exploring the hidden coves and unspoiled beaches around Isla Holbox.

Both types of vessels in our fleet at Yachting.Rent are maintained to the highest standards of quality and safety, with modern amenities to ensure you have an exceptional sailing experience.

Our dedicated team of professionals is on hand to help you choose between a sailing boat and a catamaran, considering factors such as the size of your group, your sailing experience, and your personal preferences. We’ll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your voyage in Isla Holbox is truly memorable.

With Yachting.Rent, it’s more than just sailing. It’s about crafting an unforgettable journey, tailored to your desires. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor looking for an authentic experience or a group of friends seeking comfort and stability, we have the right vessel waiting for you. Set sail with us, and experience the magic of Isla Holbox from the deck of a top-tier yacht.
