Property Description

Selva y Mar is an 8-room boutique hotel on Isla Holbox, Quintana Roo — one of Mexico's last truly wild Caribbean islands. We're not a resort. We're an intimate retreat with a private pool, jungle views from every room, and the beach just a 10-minute walk away. Every space is designed for real disconnection: no TV noise, no crowds, no rush. Just the breeze, tropical birds, and the sound of water as your constant background. From here you can swim with whale sharks, experience nighttime bioluminescence, explore natural cenotes, or simply do nothing at all. We think that's perfect too. Book directly with us for the best guaranteed rate, personal WhatsApp support from the moment you arrive on the island, and priority access to Selva y Mar Tours experiences. Only 8 rooms. Book yours before it's gone.

Airport & Shuttle Information

The nearest airport to Holbox Island is Cancún International Airport (CUN), located approximately 170 km away. The airport receives both domestic and international flights from major cities worldwide. There is no commercial airport on Holbox Island itself, so the most common way to arrive is by land and sea. From Cancún Airport, guests travel by road to the port of Chiquilá, then board a ferry to the island. The total travel time from Cancún to Holbox averages between 2.5 and 3 hours, depending on traffic and transport choice.

Local Shuttle Info: For maximum comfort, especially when traveling with family or luggage, a private transfer directly to Chiquilá port is the most convenient option — it offers door-to-door service, air conditioning, and flexible departure times. Recommended private transfer companies include Flight Holbox, Happy Shuttle, First Choice VIP, and Best Day, with round-trip private transfers starting around $200 USD. Budget-conscious travelers may also opt for shared shuttle vans (colectivos) or ADO buses from the airport to Chiquilá. Most airport transfers combine the van ride and ferry crossing into a single package for added convenience. Once at the Chiquilá ferry terminal, the crossing to Holbox takes approximately 30 minutes and runs frequently throughout the day.
