On the remote island of Holbox, Punta Caliza is a boutique hotel championing Mexican design, culture and food
For years, the island paradise of Holbox in Mexico has remained a well-guarded secret, and no wonder. Encircled by crystal clear water, sandy white beaches and wildlife aplenty, the remote island combines tropical idyll with a worldly charm that will send even your heaviest troubles away. From Cancun airport, it requires a two-hour car ride and then a 20-minute ferry ride to get to the car-less island.
‘The architects drew inspiration from traditional Mayan constructions and culture, resulting in a contemporary Mexican architecture with brush roofs using building techniques from the region,’ say Claudia and Cuauhtémoc Muñoz, the brother and sister duo behind the property. ‘At Punta Caliza, every guest will get to their suite on sandy paths that serve as the hotel’s hallways to remind them of the old Holbox.
Most recently, this representation has taken an expanded shape with the recent opening of a boutique and a restaurant by the Muñoz siblings, spurred on by a growing number of enquiries and requests from Punta Caliza guests. At Apollo Design Store, the siblings have curated an exquisite selection of garments, ceramics, table linens and home goods as souvenirs.
