How to Find the Best Hotel in Holbox Island Mexico?

Finding the best hotel in Holbox can be difficult depending on the time of year you visit.  Holbox Island is a tranquil paradise which is car free and currently unaffected by mass tourism.  For the time being, there are no big hotel complexes on the island.  Instead, you will find a small selection of small and mid-size hotels. If you want to secure your ideal hotel within your budget, you need to book in advance.

Best Luxury Hotels in Holbox Island

Holbox Island is the perfect place to treat yourself with a luxury hotel.  Here are our top picks:

Villas Flamingos Beach Front

This luxury hotel is in total harmony with nature and is an eco-friendly hotel. The reason for this is that the hotel is situated within the Yum Balan Nature Reserve.

This stylish hotel in Holbox has a fantastic location not too far from the centre of Holbox.  It is a delightful boutique hotel to spend quality time with your partner.  This beautiful hotel has 2 swimming pools.  The first swimming pool is found on the ground level and the second one is located on a roof top terrace.

It is magical to watch the sunset from the roof top terrace pool.  If you opt for fully inclusive, you can eat and drink as much as you wish.  You can even ask for your food and drinks to be delivered to the hotel’s private sandy beach area.

Villas HM Paraiso del Mar

This Holbox hotel is the sister hotel of the Villas HM Palapas del Mar described previously.  Both hotels are located next to each other and have the same high standards.  In our opinion, the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar has a more casual atmosphere and is more suited to families than couples.

We stayed at both of these hotels during our stay on Holbox Island.  For us, the Villas HM Palapas del Mar had a more boutique and intimate feel than the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar.  We saw more families with children at the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar.

The Villas HM Paraiso del Mar has one swimming pool and the complex is organised in lush tropical gardens.
