The Best Caribbean Islands to Visit from Tulum This Summer
When you're in Tulum, you're already in paradise. But if you're looking to mix things up a bit, three nearby islands offer a different kind of Caribbean experience—laid-back, colorful, and just far enough to feel like a mini escape.
Whether you're planning a relaxed day trip or want to build a full itinerary around island-hopping, here are the best Caribbean islands to visit from Tulum this summer:
Holbox: Slow Days & Sunset Rides
Holbox is where you go to slow down. Think dirt roads, hammocks, golf carts instead of cars, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see. It's located just off the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, and while it takes a bit to get there, the reward is total peace.
You can spend the day biking to Punta Cocos, kayaking through mangroves, or just lounging with a cold drink at a beach club. If you're lucky, you'll catch the bioluminescent waters glowing at night.
From Tulum, we can arrange private transfers to Chiquilá (where the ferry departs), with snacks, AC, and stops along the way if you want to explore a bit more.
Isla Mujeres: Beach Clubs & Snorkeling
Isla Mujeres is just off the coast of Cancún, but it feels way more relaxed. It's known for Playa Norte—one of the best beaches in Mexico—and for its vibrant little town, where you can shop, eat fresh seafood, and rent a golf cart to cruise around.
It’s a great place to go if you’re into beach bars and low-key luxury. The vibe is festive yet not overwhelming, making for an easy getaway from the Riviera Maya.
We often help guests with a custom itinerary, especially if you're coming from Playa del Carmen or Tulum. Think private yacht sail over to the island, catch of the day served by the water, and sunset swimming while anchored in the more private south shore of the island..
Cozumel: Clear Water & Coral Reefs
Cozumel is world-famous for snorkeling and scuba diving if you’re into exploring underwater life, this is your spot. But even if you’re not a certified diver, there’s plenty to do—snorkel over starfish in El Cielo, sip something tropical at a waterfront restaurant, or explore a natural pearl farm on the far side of the island.
The ferry leaves from Playa del Carmen, and we’ll get you there in comfort. You can spend the day or the weekend – all details covered!
