Nestled three hours south of Cancun, Mexico’s Isla Holbox remains a secluded haven, accessible only by boat and known for its untouched natural beauty. Despite increasing development, the island maintains its tranquil atmosphere, with no cars and strict regulations preventing large-scale construction. One of the newest additions to its hospitality scene, Nomade Holbox, aligns with the island’s eco-conscious ethos, offering a luxurious yet sustainable retreat. The resort, recognized as Michelin’s first-ever guide to Mexico, seamlessly integrates with its surroundings within the Yum Balam Nature Reserve. Designed with sustainability in mind, the 30-suite property features natural materials, thatched roofs, and open-concept spaces that bring guests closer to nature. Treehouse-style accommodations, elevated above the sand, provide breathtaking views, while oceanfront suites offer direct access to the pristine beach.
Nomade Holbox focuses on wellness and relaxation, offering yoga, sound healing, and holistic therapies in its Gratitude Tent. The resort’s sole dining venue, La Popular, serves fresh, locally sourced cuisine, embracing simplicity with communal seating and beachfront dining. Visitors can explore the charming village, just a short ride away, or take scenic walks along the shore. While sensitive development is ongoing, efforts like Nomade’s solar-powered operations emphasize responsible tourism, making now an ideal time to experience Isla Holbox’s unique blend of luxury and nature.
