Presented by

POWER OF THE MUJERES

Once a sacred region for the Mayans, Costa Mujeres, also known as Playa Mujeres, and Isla Mujeres were named as such (mujeres means women) due to all the imagery depicting the goddess Ixchel. Goddess power aside, choose this area to stay near the excitement of Cancún, but with more tranquil corners to relish and explore.

MAGICAL TOWN

Back in 2015, Mexico started designating places as pueblo mágicos for the magical experiences they gave travellers. One of these is Isla Mujeres for its stunning scenery.

GARRAFÓN NATURAL REEF PARK

Located on the south side of Isla Mujeres, this nature reserve invites you to zipline across the sea, snorkel around colourful reef, and to spot sea turtles.

ARTS AND CRAFTS

Forget the big-brand shops around Cancún. Find the local markets around Costa Mujeres to stock up on authentic Mexican crafts and support local artisans.

SAVOUR THE REAL MEXICO

You can find flavours from all over, but seek out Mexican dishes along the coast, like Cochinita Pibil (slow-roasted marinated pork) or a fish dish called Tikin Xic.
