is a small, magical island across the Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women) from Cancun. At roughly 4 miles long, the island is widely known for its beautiful white sand beaches, calm crystal clear turquoise waters and the friendliest locals in the Mexican Caribbean. Isla’s diversity - from the fishermen, artists and musicians to the divers, chefs and ex-pats - comprises a community unlike any other. With the beauty of the Caribbean, the heritage of the Mayans and the easygoing charm of the people, Isla Mujeres has become a haven for people from all over the world.
On 2/2/2019, we set off from the arctic tundra of Minneapolis to Isla Mujeres for the first time. After a quick flight, a little Jagermeister, an unusually hospitable CARM airport shuttle team and a truly remarkable, 30-minute Ultramar ferry ride, we spent a week falling in love with this incredible island so dang hard that, three years later, we just had to return to make this thing official.
