Holbox Island – Quintana Roo’s Unspoiled Escape (Photos)

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Who needs Netflix and chill when you can hammock and chill? Two nets draped mid ocean offer just that: a hammock nap in the sea, party of “we.” Holbox Island is one of Quintana Roo’s best kept secrets. While international tourists flock to Cancun and Playa del Carmen and back-packers make Tulum their own, Holbox Island is for those seeking to escape the crowds.

 

So where do you go to be undisturbed? Where do you go when you want to do nothing? Holbox Island.
