HOLBOX ISLAND

Holbox ("Black hole" in Mayan language) is part of the Municipality of Lazaro Cardenas and also part of the Yum-Balam Biosphere Reserve.
It is located off north-eastern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico and is the only Island in the Caribbean that has more than 40 km of unspoiled beaches.
Until now, the virgin beaches have been preserved and a simple life surrounded by nature.
It is approximately 48 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide, and it is separated from the mainland by a shallow lagoon that is home to flamingos, pelicans and other rich birdlife.

Not yet too touristic, the island's main resource is fishing. Turns a simple walk on the beach into an unforgettable experience.
The sea in Holbox has countless shades of blue, playful dolphins, gigantic fish and very pink flamingos.
In this tropical paradise the temperature rarely rises above 86°F (30°C) or below 68°F (20°C) throughout the year. Holbox island is a nature reserve with only one small, authentic fishing village (also called Holbox) where people enjoy a cheerful and simple lifestyle where its habitants are determined to keep this paradise unspoiled.

Holbox….. means taking out time for oneself.
Once arrived the clock ticks at a different pace.
Here time obeys the weather and nature or better yet the sun and sea, since it has been this way for more than 150 years.
While here you're just enjoying the fresh breeze on your face, your infinite view across the sea and the internal peace that enters our souls.
Keeping track of time here is not a priority.
When you leave Holbox you´ll realize that you still need more time to see and enjoy everything that this beautiful small paradise has to offer, which means....

.......... you just have to come back!!! ..........
