A Bohemian hideaway that artfully blends the style and influences of the Yucatan, Morocco and the southwest, this beach house rental in Mexico lies along the shores of tiny Holbox Island, where you can escape to a (mostly) undiscovered corner of the Yucatan. Pristine and relaxing, we love the rooftop terrace and lounge from where you can catch the island sunsets and the night time stars.
Description
Just a short walk from the beach and the center of Holbox village, this beach house rental in Mexico is nestled among the coconut groves in a peaceful and private hideaway, yet near to all that the island has to offer.
Built in a fusion of Mayan and Moroccan inspired style, the three story house is a pristine and dreamy space with cool whitewashed walls and a rustic-luxe design aesthetic. Guests have access to the second level loft space and living area with a shady palm fringed balcony for reading and siestas as well as a cozy double bedroom adjacent to a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Designed with an eye for detail, the carefully selected furnishings, art and decor create a serene balance of earthiness and style.
The spiral staircase winds up to the rooftop terrace and sun deck with a yoga shala and bungalow lounge. It’s the ideal spot for lazy afternoons in the hammock, sunset cocktails, and balmy stargazing by night.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi throughout, kitchen and bath essentials. A bicycle and yoga mats are available for guests use.
AROUND
Located off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and separated from the mainland by the Yalahau Lagoon, Holbox Island is part of the Yum Balam Nature Reserve between the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Rich in biodiversity and marine life, you can spot sea turtles and whale sharks in the waters off the coast and flamingos and sea birds strolling the shores. The tiny main village on the north west side of the island is a laid back mosaic of shoreline cantinas and thatched whitewashed bungalows, vendors and shops and the main town square where the colorful remnants of the annual arts festival has left the town’s walls covered in art, murals and graffiti. Much of the rest of the island is largely uninhabited and covered in mangroves and sandy coves for exploring like nearby Playa Punta Coco.

Marco’s rental was INCREDIBLE. It was probably the most beautiful placed we’d ever stayed and he was such a great host. Everything about our stay was perfect. We will definitely be coming back.
