"This eco-friendly boutique hotel surprises from the moment you arrive: several guest rooms are breathtaking tree houses that resemble bird nests high above the sand, and many wellness experiences—ranging from yoga to sound baths and traditional Mayan healing ceremonies—are complimentary for guests. The property also houses La Popular, a seafood-focused grill offering toes-in-the-sand dining. Laura Samper, a wellness coordinator, notes that "Holbox is part of a natural reserve, known as the Yum Balam, which translates to 'lord or king jaguar,' and welcomes various bird species year-round," highlighting the property's connection to the surrounding natural reserve." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
