Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres has some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. Here you can enjoy some incredible experiences. A true Caribbean getaway here is putting in some major time at the beach. Whether it’s unforgettable swim-alongs with enormous whale sharks and impossibly elegant sailfish, a dive among the seafloor statues of the Underwater Museum, or a visit to sea turtles of the Tortugranja, Isla Mujeres comes with a variety one-of-a-kind attractions. There’s no question, though, that at or near the top of many visitors’ to-do lists for their Caribbean getaway here is putting in some major time at the beach.

Playa Norte
If you’re spending some time in the downtown area to do some shopping or simply wandering around. Here, you can grab a drink, relax by the sea, take a swim and just enjoy the beauties of the northern part of the island.
Playa Norte Beach
If you’re just looking to relax on the sand, head to Playa del Norte, regarded among travelers as a beautiful, pristine beach.
This is the main beach on Isla Mujeres and has been named one of the best beaches in the Caribbean! The water here is calm, and shallow, making it a great spot for families or for just a chilled out day of floating around.
The celebrity among Isla Mujeres’ beaches and one ranked among the very best in the entire Cancun region, Playa Norte is just a stone’s throw away from Privilege Aluxes, along the El Centro waterfront. As with the other beach spreads here on the northwest margin of the island, the waters here—easing westward to the Cancun coast—are sheltered and calm: one big welcome mat for swimmers and snorkelers. And the exquisite white sands of Playa Norte, beautifully wedged between a wall of palm trees and the turquoise sea, provide a postcard-worthy spot for blissful lounging.
You’ve also got easy access to bars and restaurants, plus watersports rentals. All in all, Playa Norte well deserves its high-profile reputation as a preeminent Isla Mujeres strand—and it’s all yours to enjoy just steps from Privilege Aluxes!
Playa Lancheros
Playa Lancheros (A beautiful beach where besides resting and going for a deliciously refreshing swim, you can also eat at the restaurant and enjoy perfect sea views. Spend some time here in the afternoon while the sun is setting, or linger over a good meal with friends or family.
Punta Sur
If you’re looking for peace and quiet, head to Punta Sur. Here you’ll find one of the most beautiful views that the island has to offer, ruins of ancient temples dedicated to the goddess Ixchel, and other sculptures that you can admire the stunning views as you walk around.
Punta Sur is located on the southern tip of Isla Mujeres.

Playa Garrafon
Down on the southwestern coast of Isla Mujeres, Playa Garrafon is another winner: a pearly runway of sand offering lounge-ready beach chairs and cabanas as well as an ideal jumping-off point for snorkeling the nearshore reefs. You’ve also got the myriad enticements of the Garrafon Natural Reef Park—from zip-lines to dolphin encounters—at your disposal, as well as the sublime rocky coastline of Punta Sur—home to a Mayan temple and the “Cliff of Dawn,” the first spot in Mexico to enjoy sunrise—close by.
Garrofon de Castilla
If you feel like exploring the aquatic life of the area, come here to snorkel and discover what lies under the sea and inhabits the area around the reef. There’s also a nice spot where you can enjoy drinks and snacks as the sun sets.
Playa Tiburon
Another nice spot to spend some time at while visiting Isla Mujeres, Playa Tiburon has a nice restaurant offering delicious fresh grilled fish — the perfect way to refuel after taking a swim. Strolling the pier at Playa Tiburon (just a stone’s throw from the Tortugranja Turtle Farm), you’ve got numerous other prime Isla Mujeres beachfronts to enjoy on the calm, sandy western coast.
Makax Lagoon
Another nice spot, the Makax Lagoon is home to one of the best sunset views around. Wander around to admire the native fauna and flora of the area before settling in to one of the local restaurants, and enjoying a meal as the sky turns crimson.
