Holbox is an island unlike any other. This unique Caribbean island mixes the best of island living and exclusivity, making it a popular –if difficult to reach– destination. The pristine beaches attract visitors from all over the world, many of which now call Holbox their home. This means that, though small, Holbox is home to exclusive boutique hotels and galleries that sell stunning handcrafted goods. The popularity of the island has yet to have an impact on its natural beauty. Locals guard the island's resources jealously, and it shows. This entire dynamic has created a destination with sights you won't see anywhere else in Mexico, and it's all just a short helicopter trip from Cancun to Holbox.
