Casa Las Tortugas is located directly on the beach on the island of Holbox. Not isolated, but not in the middle of the chaos either. You step straight onto the beach, but within a few minutes you can also walk into the center. The hotel is just as picture-perfect like the white sandy beaches, furnished with natural materials, handmade cushions and fabrics, and wooden and artisanal details. As a guest, you can participate in yoga and salsa classes for free, or simply in the mezcal tasting.

From Cancun, it is about a three-hour drive to the port town of Chiquilá. From there, the ferry to Isla Holbox departs every half hour. Because it is such a popular island, prices are higher than on the mainland. It is good to keep this in mind, but unless you really need to watch your pennies, it is no reason to skip the island. If you want to swim with whale sharks, plan your visit between June and September. Bucket listactivity!
