Just 20 minutes by ferry from Cancún, Isla Mujeres is the Caribbean at its calmest and most turquoise: crystal waters, a slow pace and some of the best beachfront villas in the region. Here's where to stay, what to do and how to choose your villa.
The best areas to stay
The north of the island (Playa Norte) has the most famous beach: white sand and shallow sea, ideal for families. The east and south coasts gather more private villas on clifftops and coves, with spectacular sunrise views over the Caribbean.
What to do in Isla Mujeres
Snorkeling and diving (including the MUSA Underwater Museum), swimming with whale sharks in season (June–September), touring the island by golf cart and catching sunset at Punta Sur. Your Sotavento Concierge arranges a private chef, catamaran and experiences right at your villa.
When to go
November to April is dry and perfect. If your plan is to swim with whale sharks, aim for the summer months. A villa with a private pool guarantees the best plan in any season.
Why a villa in Isla Mujeres
The island is small and exclusive; a beachfront villa gives you privacy, a pool and your own staff away from Cancún's crowds, without giving up being a ferry from everything. Reach us at sotaventovillas.com to check availability.
