Holbox in Mexiko is a destination that Honeymoon plans for couples who focus on togetherness, calm and privacy. Behind it stands Honeymoon, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation that puts honeymoons together individually. With the planner, you state your wishes for two, and the discussion of the trip follows in the video call.

Why this trip
No cars, sand streets and hammocks in the sea: on Holbox the clock stands still, and that is exactly why couples come here. The island lies in the north of the Yucatán peninsula and can be explored on foot, by bicycle or by golf cart. At Playa Punta Cocos you collect shells and, at low tide, walk far out into the shallow water. The Agua de Coco beach club and the Soulbox Rooftop Sunset Bar suit the evening, when the sky turns orange.
The Bioluminiscencia, the glow of the sea, can be experienced at night, and with a little luck you swim in a sparkle. At the Hoyo negro Yalahau you go to a freshwater spring, and at the Letras Holbox couples take a souvenir photo. With luck you will see flamingos and even whale sharks. November to April is the dry season.
Cancún, Isla Mujeres and Playa del Carmen lie as neighbours, and Cancún serves as the airport. The flight takes 12 to 14 hours, usually with a stopover, and Swiss citizens enter visa-free for up to 180 days. Hotels such as Las Nubes de Holbox or Casa Cat Ba are small and close to the water. On a video call, Honeymoon will discuss with you how the journey via Chiquilá and the stay fit together best.
