We invite you to travel to this tropical island that sits on the imaginary line between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy a sail on a beautiful Trimaran to Isla Mujeres.
Isla Mujeres (Island of Women) is a casual, laid-back refuge from the conspicuously commercialized action of Cancún, visible across a narrow channel. Just 8km (5 miles) long and 4km (2 1/2 miles) wide, it's known as the best value in the Caribbean, assuming that you favor an easy-going vacation pace, and prefer simplicity to pretense.
This is an island of white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, complemented by a town filled with Caribbean-colored clapboard houses and rustic, open-air restaurants specializing in the bounty of the sea. Hotels are clean and comfortable, but if you're looking for lots of action or opulence, you'll be happier in Cancún. A few recent additions on Isla Mujeres provide more luxurious lodging choices, but they still maintain a decidedly casual atmosphere.
