Mexico is a travel country that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.

Overview
Cozumel, Holbox and Isla Mujeres show the Caribbean side of Mexico from three very different angles. Cozumel is the largest of the three and counts among divers as a classic destination, with clear water over coral banks. Isla Mujeres lies only a short crossing off Cancún and lives on its calm bays. Holbox, high in the north, hardly knows cars: sand streets, hammocks and a shallow lagoon shape the day.
From November to April the air is dry, the sea calm and visibility under water good. Couples use the weeks for long walks on the beach and evenings by the sound of the sea, families for shallow water and boat trips that children like to join. Spanish is the national language, in beach hotels English usually helps. Good to know: Swiss citizens enter visa-free for up to 180 days.
The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking. The flight time is about 12 to 14 hrs, usually with a change. Drinking water should come from bottles, and tipping is a fixed part of the culture. From these three islands you choose, together with Island Escapes in a video call, the one that suits your pace.
