Flavours of the island
Holbox’s cuisine honors the land and sea with fresh, local, and authentic flavors. Each dish connects with nature and the soul of the island
Local flavors that honor the land and sea
Cuisine in Holbox is a celebration of the sea, the land, and the slower rhythm of time. Here, flavors are honest, local, and deeply connected to nature. Fresh ingredients arrive straight from regional fishermen and producers: catch of the day, octopus, tropical fruits, native melipona honey, and handmade tortillas.
Holbox Lobster: A Sea Treasure Turned Tradition
One of the island’s greatest culinary treasures is Caribbean lobster, known for its sweet flavor and tender texture. It is fished artisanally and only in season, out of respect for the sea. From this tradition comes one of Holbox’s most beloved dishes: lobster pizza, baked in a wood-fired oven with thin crust, mild cheese, and fresh lobster. A simple, memorable creation born of local ingenuity.
Holbox: Where Food Nourishes the Soul and Awakens the Senses
Holbox is also abundant with freshly made ceviches, seafood tacos with homemade salsas, island-baked breads, and organic coffee from southern mountain regions. The tropical climate, proximity to the sea, and relaxed rhythm invite mindful dining — to savor with your feet in the sand and toast with botanical cocktails or fresh juices. From a seaside lunch to a dinner under the stars, the gastronomy of Holbox does more than nourish — it connects, comforts, and leaves a lasting memory.
Unforgettable Sunsets
At Náay, sunset in Holbox is a daily gift.
Facing the sea, the sky lights up in gold, orange, and violet hues reflected in the calm waters. The hotel’s privileged location offers uninterrupted views — whether from your terrace or on a walk to Punta Cocos, one of the island’s most magical sunset spots.
There, between birds in flight and swaying palms, sunset becomes a ritual.
A moment to look, feel, and remember what truly matters.
Bioluminescence
"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."
Jacques Cousteau
The Night Magic of Punta Cocos
During the darkest nights, especially from May to September, the waters around the island reveal a secret — magical marine microorganisms that emit light when the water is stirred. The result: a sea that seems to glow beneath your feet.
The best place to witness this phenomenon is Punta Cocos — home of Náay. Far from the village lights, you only need to walk to the shore and step into the water. Each movement, each step, sparks a liquid dance of light that responds to your presence.
The Intense Magic of Bioluminescence
Swimming beneath a starry sky while the sea itself shimmers around you is hard to describe. Intense, magical, deeply intimate.
Bioluminescence is just that — a natural enchantment. It can’t be booked, controlled, or consumed. It can only be honored. And those who witness it, never forget it.
Whale Sharks
Summer of Majesty: Holbox’s Whale Sharks
Each summer, Holbox offers the rare privilege of encountering one of the ocean’s most majestic giants. From June to September, whale sharks — the world’s largest fish — migrate to these waters, drawn by the abundance of plankton.
The sightings take place in open sea, aboard small boats that allow you to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
The Serenity of Giants: A Unique Experience with Whale Sharks
Though they can exceed 12 meters in length, their presence is calm, and their behavior is peaceful.
It is not a controlled or guaranteed experience — it is nature in its purest state. And therein lies its value. Each encounter is unique, a humbling reminder of how small we are in the vastness of the ocean.
