HOLBOX ISLAND

In the grand scheme of Mexico, the island is but a little blip—a blip 26 miles long and less than one mile wide, to be exact. Six miles of shallow lagoon and flamboyances (aka flocks) of shrimp-hued flamingos separate it from the mainland of the Yucatán Peninsula.
The hidden treasure in Quintana Roo (the same state Tulum is part of), has long been a well-kept secret of off-the-beaten-path travelers, especially those for whom Gypset Living is something of a life manual. But it’s quickly gaining notoriety because of its absurdly beautiful natural surroundings and authentically bohemian-yet-glamorous vibe—also the fact tourism efforts are ramping up.
