Casa Sandra is a laid-back boutique style hotel on Isla Holbox, managed by the owner, a prolific artist.

Casa Sandra is a unique, boutique-style hotel on the vehicle-free, relax-zone which is the island of Holbox just off the north coast of the Yucatán peninsula. The owner, Sandra Pérez, is a full-time artist, and the property is decorated with many examples of her work.

She aims to create a haven of peace and relaxation, so the 18 guest rooms, otherwise simply and beautifully decorated and furnished with rustic-chic wooden and wicker furniture and floaty drapes, do not have TV, Wifi or telephones. But you can look out at the azure waters of the calm Caribbean Sea from all the guest rooms, there is a restaurant offering romantic dining and weddings can be arranged here.

Our Expert's Opinion

Overlooking the sea, this small boutique hotel offers a lovely pool in lush gardens as well as a white sand beach – perfect for a relaxing stay. I really liked the day beds on the beach for guests and the pop up beach bar as great extra touches. The rooms are cool and comfortable and decorated with art done by the artist owner.
