Skycamp Holbox

Camping and glamping cabins on Holbox

Skycamp Holbox offered camping and glamping cabins on Isla Holbox, Mexico, and described itself as the perfect option for a stay on the island.

The cabins were equipped with everything guests needed to enjoy what the site called a paradise island, in comfort, cleanliness and tranquillity.

There were two kinds of cabin, both built on two levels. The glamping cabin had a private room on the first floor, equipped for two people with a double bed. The camping cabin came with a tent, a double mattress, sheets, a fan and an electric socket.

Skycamp was in the sought-after Punta Cocos area of the island, a few steps from one of the most spectacular beaches on Holbox.

The site also kept a blog with news from Skycamp and from Holbox, and practical information on transport, timetables, activities and the ways of getting to the island.
