Holbox Travel Guide
HOLBOX
Isla Holbox is the most beautiful island seperated from the mainland by the Yalahau Lagoon, so picturesque it is home to flamingos and pelicans. (Watch out David Attenborough). This special island is a complete escape from the rush of everyday life, with no cars allowed. Sit back, relax and sip on that cocktail...
WHERE TO STAY
This spot is SO special, we're almost a little hesitant to share this little gem. Mawimbi is the most charming tropical "hotelito", built in the middle of a lush tropical garden on the beautiful white beach of Holbox. With only 11 rooms, this is THE place for the ultimate jungle escape. Make sure you plan ahead to get a booking!
Ser Casasandra is a gorgeous boutique hotel on Holbox. Tranquility is at the heart of this place, check in and truly relax and unwind. The staff here are the true heroes, making sure that everything you can think of is covered. The attention to detail and care they take is just so special. What is there to worry about, other than which sun lounger to choose?!
The Aldea Kuka eco boutique hotel is wonderfully luxurious. You'll feel like you're in a whole new world while relaxing in your cabin. This hotel's crowning jewel is the AMAZING pool, don't forget your bikini!
WHERE TO EAT
Luuma is a beautiful secret garden with sand floors and palm trees. Dine under the stars and savor local ingredients which are mixed into original and delicious dishes from around the world.

If you're on the hunt for a seafood feast, look no further. Lobster, shrimp, octopus, crab and all kinds of fresh fish are served fresh everyday at Raices and it is DELISH. Open 12pm-12am, their cocktails will keep you dancing under the moonlight.
Part of the beautiful Ser Casasandra, Mojito's Beach Club is a glamorous spot to while the hours away in the sun, cocktail in hand. As the name might giveaway, the cocktails here are second to none, and their delicious Cuban food is not to be missed. We're still dreaming of those mojitos...
ROOTS PIZZA
Roots Pizza is an institution on Holbox. Known for their specialty lobster pizza, Roots is an unassuming but legendary spot. Wood-fired pizzas with authentic Mexican flavours is just the BEST unexpected combination.
SUNSET HOLBOX OFFICIAL
Sunset Holbox Official is a fantastic bar to head to if you're after delicious cocktails and fun atmosphere. Plus, the bar is surrounded by swings, which can be risky after a cocktail or two...

For a casual, but stunning evening, take a golf cart to Playa Punta Coco for drinks to watch the sunset. What could be better than a sundowner with that view?
