Just off the coast of Cancun in the deep blue Caribbean sea you will find Isla Mujeres - with its abundant sunshine, long white sandy beaches, coral reefs and dolphins - the perfect place to stay if you want to get-away-from-it-all and unwind. In our collection of the best places to stay in Isla Mujeres, we've highlighted a fantastic range of contemporary boutiques and plush resorts which are all ideal for doing just that!
Before it was settled in 1850, Isla Mujeres was a Mayan sanctuary to the goddess Ixchel - the remains of which can be seen on the Punta Sur, along with a lighthouse and a turtle sanctuary. Lying 13km from the Mexican coast, Isla Mujeres is renowned for its beautiful white beaches, with aqaumarine waters as clear as glass, and the easy charm of its people. More laid back and less busy than Cancun, it offers an abundance of coral reefs to snorkel or scubadive, as well as an underwater sculpture park. Other activities include swimming with white sharks, visiting a turtle farm, taking a boat out to the Isla Contoy National Park or exploring the island by golf-cart. However, the slow pace of island life could easily seduce you to into chilling on the beach - because for every activity junkie, there's a visitor who's come here simply to shut off and tune out.
A beautiful, relaxing stay, Isla Mujeres is perfect for either a romantic getaway, or an activity packed family break. But if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Isla Mujeres during the peak holiday months, you'll need to book well ahead to avoid disappointment.
