Isla Holbox is a tropical paradise off the Yucatán Peninsula's coast, where turquoise waters meet golden sands and vibrant sunsets paint the sky. While spending a week here in 2023 I learned that beyond its natural beauty are some damn good places to eat.
In this guide I'll lay out the absolute best places to eat on Isla Holbox, each a testament to the island's commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. These are all places I have personally eaten myself and can't help but shout from the rooftops how great both the food and aethe
These restaurants aren't just places to grab a bite – they turn every meal into an experience and memory. You'll leave Holbox with a whole new love for the food scene here on the island. Join us as we dig in.
