Isla Mujeres is a small island off Cancun, famous for Playa Norte —turquoise, shallow water perfect for swimming— and its laid-back, golf-cart pace. You can visit for the day, but staying overnight rewards you with sunsets and a much quieter island once the day-trippers leave.
Boutique & luxury
- Casa del Jaguar Beach Hotel – luxury boutique in the heart of Playa Norte.
- Zoetry Villa Rolandi – boutique all-inclusive with oceanfront suites.
- Hotel Secreto and Casa de los Sueños – romantic, with a beach and infinity pool.
All-inclusive & family
- Mia Reef Isla Mujeres – at the tip of Playa Norte, it feels like a private island.
- Budget options and boutique guesthouses downtown, steps from the beach.
How to get there
From Cancun Airport, take a transfer to the piers (Puerto Juárez or the Hotel Zone) and the Ultramar ferry to the island (15–20 min). On the island you get around by golf cart.
