Isla Mujeres, Mexico is a tiny, beautiful, tranquil small island located off the coast of Cancun. Its clear blue water, incredible coral reefs, sugar sand beaches, calmly moving palm trees, migrating whale sharks, Mayan ruins, and giant iguanas that move over your view sometimes when you’re not looking make it one of the best destinations in the Riviera Maya.

Conceived by Jason deCaires Taylor, Isla Mujeres is home to the largest underwater museum on earth. The clear waters off Isla Mujeres make a great place to scuba dive or snorkel while seeing how thousands of underwater sculptures change in time in regards to coral growth and marine interaction. The scope of the project is mind blowing and the combination of art and marine conservation is great to see.

Mesmerizing views and a warm atmosphere that invite you to relax are the main marks of excellence of this elegant boutique hotel. With a helpful and courteous staff; Casa de los Suenos will completely fulfill every need and wish that you have. Read extra details at https://hotelcasasuenos.com/.

Joysxee Floating Bottle Island: An island made from plastic bottles! What a great way to utilize some of the excessive amounts of plastic on the island. If you plan to visit, make sure the creator Richard Sowa is in residence. He will come and collect you by small boat and charges 50 pesos ($2.50) per person to take you back to his island made from over 150,000 bottles. Richard explains how he gathers plastic bottles from Isla Mujeres and creates a platform from them by placing them into bags. On top of the bags, he places wooden pallets, adding plywood, carpet, sand and dirt, rocks and then plants mangroves that assists in binding it all together. A visit here is one of the most unique things to do in Isla Mujeres.

If white sand, warm water, and hot sun is your thing, you will have no problem spending a full day at Playa Norte, the most popular beach on Isla Mujeres. Located just a ten-minute walk from the ferry pier, Playa Norte is the perfect location to be your first and last stop, of your day. While it does get crowded with tourists, it is the best beach to take your children, as the water is very calm and shallow for a long distance out. While you are there, make sure to check out the various bars and restaurants along the beach, some of which deliver your food and drinks to you, out in the water! Can you think of a better scenario than that? “Of the best beaches I have visited. Their colors are stunning and crystal clear waters. Recommend to bring your viewfinder, you can find many fish of all sizes and colors.” – Alan
