Snorkel in Isla Mujeres is one of the best activities you can do during your vacation.. The Mexican Caribbean is full of fascinating places under its crystal clear waters. Isla Mujeres is located very close to the second largest barrier reef on the planet.

This exceptional location gives it an ecosystem rich in extraordinary marine flora and fauna. Around Isla Mujeres there are several great snorkeling spots where you can enjoy the underwater beauty of the region.

Dive into the beach of our hotel, Privilege Aluxes, is one of the best places to snorkel without the need to take a boat. Just 60 meters from the shore, you can snorkel and spot exotic fish.

This is the largest reef area of Isla Mujeres that offers a great diversity of marine life and coral formations. It is a little farther from the island, so it is necessary to take a guided tour or rent a boat to reach it.

This underwater museum features a collection of submerged sculptures that have been placed to encourage the growth of coral reefs. It is a unique and artistic snorkeling experience.
