Isla Mujeres

If you’re looking to take a step back from reality and enjoy the serenity of island life, then Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women, is the place for you. Located just eight miles from Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a small island—only five miles long and half a mile wide—ringed by beautiful white sandy beaches and crystalline waters.
 
Isla Mujeres is a modest fishing village that still retains its charm and tranquility. Because of the abundance of exotic sea life, restaurants serve the freshest seafood as well as international and regional cuisine. Accommodations on the island range from simple to luxurious, so no matter what you’re looking for you’re sure to find it.
 
While Isla is a wonderful place to just sit back and relax, there is still plenty to do. The options for water sports on the island are relatively unlimited. You can go windsurfing, kayaking, boogie barding, and boating. Traditional boat rides are available to reach the main points of interest on and surrounding the island. If you’re feeling adventurous you can go snorkeling—explore various reefs and caves surrounding the island and experience the rainbow of multi-colored tropical fish. Once you’ve had enough fun in the sun you can roam the picturesque streets of the town and find dozens of craft-shops and jewelry shops with merchandise from all over Mexico.
 
Come fulfill your fantasies of a dream vacation while enjoying the authentic Mexican Caribbean flavor in this tropical paradise.
