The Top 5 Finest Luxury Resorts On Isla Mujeres

Last Updated

Isla Mujeres is a hugely popular day-trip destination for vacationers staying in Cancun. It’s a small island only 20 minutes offshore and is perfect for soaking up some island vibes while enjoying one of the area’s best beaches at Playa Norte. It also offers some of the best water-based tours in the Cancun area.

But if you want to dig a little deeper and experience the many activities for longer than just a few hours – and really, why wouldn’t you? – here are the finest on-island luxury resorts to tempt you to stay across the water.

Isla Mujeres Hotels

Lotus Beach Hotel

Not strictly a resort, but certainly Isla Mujeres’s hottest new luxury hotel, Lotus Beach Hotel is situated on a prime beachfront location on Playa Norte. It’s a small, exclusive development with only six rooms that are beautifully designed and decorated in a minimal, yet inviting style.

Rooms all have either an in-suite jacuzzi tub, or their own plunge pool, and these are some sizeable rooms, ranging from 75-85 square meters. Overlooking the beach and turquoise ocean beyond, this is somewhere you can thoroughly chill out. The hotel is rated for its fantastic food and drinks, chilled vibe, and smart appearance, which is super close to all that the Isla Mujeres ‘Centro’ district has to offer.

Mia Reef Isla Mujeres

The private pier used to access the Mia Reef Isla Mujeres All-Inclusive is the first indication of how exclusive this luxury resort is. Inhabiting one of the island’s most secluded locations, Mia Reef offers superb views of the coral reef from one side, and beach views from the other.

There’s little need to leave this little corner of paradise once you arrive, with your every need taken care of, from a lovely oceanfront pool area with a swim-up bar, a relaxing spa, two restaurants, plus a fitness room and – the icing on the cake – a private beach.

Rooms are simply decorated with splashes of magenta bringing a tropical feel. Guests praise the staff for their attentive and caring service, which is yet another reason to recommend this unforgettable hotel.
