Isla Holbox, Mexico - March 19th - 25th
Las Palapas Del Sol
Isla Holbox is a quaint 24 square mile island of uncommercialized bliss off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Part of an ecological reserve, Isla Holbox is separated from the mainland by a beautiful lagoon which is home to flamingos, pelicans, and other rich birdlife. With no public cars on the island, beachside accommodations, and delicious food, it's the perfect opportunity to relax the body, mind and spirit. The town is just a short walk from Palapas del Sol with local restaurants and shops. It’s just 90 minutes from the Cancun airport, via car (1h), ferry (25min) and golf cart (5min). We are excited to spend a week on this quiet, serene, blissful island with you! 18 spots available.
