About 3 hours northwest of Cancun, the island of Holbox is the antidote to its neighbor’s built-up tourism machine. The island’s largely cash-only, there are hardly any cars, and the seafood was likely caught a few hours before it lands on your plate.
The fishing village-turned vacation town is a photographer’s dream, with colorful murals on the town’s streets, Instagrammable features like water hammocks and bar swings, and out-of-this-world sunsets that paint the sky and water a rainbow of colors.
