Did you know that you can visit a Caribbean island in Mexico?
Mexico’s Caribbean coast is world-famous. The Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo state boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, as well as the stunning luxury resorts of Cancun, the lively party scene of Playa del Carmen, and the boho hippy eco-tourism of Tulum.
A little island called Cozumel
But a little less well-known is the little island of Cozumel which sits just a few miles off the coast of Playa del Carmen in the gorgeous azure Caribbean sea. This little slice of paradise adds a whole other dimension to any Mexican vacation, with a more laidback, island vibe and extraordinary marine life just waiting to be discovered.
Cozumel is a popular cruising port, and there are a load of exciting things to do on the island, from magical, mysterious sinkholes known as cenotes to snorkeling around a working pearl farm!
However, one of the best, most exclusive, and most intensely relaxing experiences you can have on this Mexican Caribbean paradise island is not actually on Cozumel itself!
Isla Pasion
Sitting twenty minutes off the northern coast of Cozumel lies the gorgeous, secluded private island of Isla Pasion. Far away from the busier tourist hub of San Miguel de Cozumel, Isla Pasion is the ultimate way to enjoy the Caribbean at its very best.
A trip to Isla Pasionis all about rustic elegance and off-the-beaten-track sophistication. A tiny little world of swaying palm trees, pretty hammocks, sea breezes, and pristine white-sand beaches.
Reaching Isla Pasion
Getting to the island is part of the adventure, and a day out at a luxury resort this is not! You’ll hop in a jeep for a 20-minute drive along unpaved to a remote part of Cozumel island, past the San Gervasio ruins, before ending up at Bahia Ciega (Blind Bay). From here a short boat ride will whisk you away to your tiny island paradise for the day.
Isla Pasion boasts sugar-white, powder-soft sand beaches, crystal-clear water, and plenty of exciting activities for visitors of all ages. As a private island, Isla Pasion offers an all-exclusive experience so you don’t have to worry about a thing, just lay back with a cocktail in hand and enjoy one of the best experiences the Riviera Maya has to offer!
The only downside to Isla Pasion? At the end of the day, you have to get back on a boat and leave!
