Holbox Island:
If you prefer a more relaxed vacation pace, consider the island of Holbox!
A typical Mexican island, located to the northwest of Cancun, Holbox Island is just 26 miles long. Holbox is separated from the mainland coast of Mexico by a shallow lagoon which gives sanctuary to thousands of flamingos, pelicans and other exotic birds and creatures.
Isla Holbox was settled by pirates who intermarried with local Mayans living in the area.
Holbox is considered a virgin tourist destination because the beaches are still empty and white, the song of the birds and the waves make the perfect ambiance for a relaxing vacation, and also, there aren't cars on the island and most of all annoying noises... so, Isla Hoxbox is one of those fragile, precious places, and little gems like this are getting fewer and farther between every day. Fishing enthusiasts come here because it's less known, but Holbox's real claim to fame is its seasonal snorkeling tours to see whale sharks and manta rays!
Isla Mujeres:
There's an island in everyone's dreams - a place for relaxing and recharging, for fun and sun, to experience or just to be. Isla Mujeres in Mexico, is a great way to escape the tourist crush in Cancun.
Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women is not populated with more, different or any other classification of women than you would normally find in Mexico; when the Spanish expedition landed, they found many female shaped idols representing the goddess Ixchel, thus Isla Mujeres got its name!
Isla Mujeres Snorkeling and diving are the two most popular activities of this island.
With an idyllic setting that is pristine, romantic and endlessly peaceful Isla Mujeres is the perfect tropical retreat for honeymooners and couples.
Isla Mujeres is surely the ultimate tropical island destination, enhanced by a cornucopia of beach resorts that know the true meaning of the word luxury.
There are numerous public ferries traveling from Cancun to Isla Mujeres and vice versa. Getting back and forth is no problem. Just make sure you check the schedule for return trips.
These are places where nature and nurture have worked in concert to enliven your senses - places where you can head out and explore or settle in and let the simple joy of a dreamy beach sweep you away. Places that inspire a tingle of romance to make its slow way up your spine, into your heart and into the arms of the one you love.
