A stylish hotel on Isla Holbox’s most attractive stretch of beach.

The laid-back, vehicle-free island of Holbox is a 20 minute ride from the Yucatán peninsula. Villas Caracol offers 15 fresh contemporary guest rooms, complete with modern amenities and air conditioning. There is a good-sized swimming pool with a swim-up bar, as well as a private beach area with loungers; and for those who wish to be a little more active, kayaks and bikes are available to rent. Breakfast is served in ‘Las Hamacas’ restaurant which is also a great spot for lunch and dinner.
