Just off the coast of Cancún lies a hidden gem that feels like a world apart—Isla Mujeres, an island rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Here, time moves a little slower, the waters shimmer a little brighter, and the moments linger just a little longer. And at the heart of this tropical paradise is Almare, A Luxury Collection Resort, a beachfront retreat that effortlessly blends the island’s charm with elevated luxury.
Whether you're chasing golden sunsets, snorkeling vibrant reefs, or immersing yourself in centuries-old Mayan culture, Isla Mujeres offers travelers a rare combination: a destination of serene beauty, enriched by deep-rooted heritage.
Paradise in Every Direction: Isla Mujeres’ Iconic Beaches
From the moment your toes touch the soft white sand, you'll understand why Isla Mujeres is celebrated for its world-class beaches. With powdery shores and crystalline waters, this island offers some of the most pristine and swimmable coastlines in all of the Caribbean.
Playa Norte, consistently ranked among the top beaches in the world, is a postcard-perfect haven with shallow turquoise waters and gently swaying palms. It’s ideal for a midday swim, sunset stroll, or simply basking under the Mexican sun with a fresh coconut in hand.
Almare itself is located on one of the island’s most privileged stretches of sand, offering guests direct access to secluded beachfront areas with uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Whether lounging in a daybed, taking a sunrise walk, or enjoying a romantic beachfront dinner, the connection to the sea is ever present and always breathtaking.
Natural Wonders at Every Turn
Beyond its beaches, Isla Mujeres is home to extraordinary natural beauty and biodiversity. Just minutes from the resort, guests can explore coral reefs teeming with marine life, vibrant mangroves, and lush tropical landscapes.

A Journey into Mayan Heritage
Isla Mujeres isn’t just a pretty place—it’s a destination steeped in history. The island takes its name from the many Mayan goddess statues that were found here centuries ago, dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of the moon, love, and fertility.
Today, that spiritual and cultural legacy remains alive. Guests can visit Punta Sur, the island’s southernmost point and home to a dramatic cliffside temple and sculpture garden. With panoramic views and a sense of ancient mystique, it’s a powerful place for reflection, photography, or a morning walk hand in hand.
Back at Almare, local artistry and culture are woven into the design and experience. Murals by Mexican artists, curated rituals, and flavors rooted in the region's traditions bring the island’s essence into every space. Even the architecture pays homage to native materials like chukum, a natural limestone resin used for centuries in the Yucatán.
A Sanctuary in Harmony with Nature
What makes Almare truly exceptional is how it exists in harmony with its surroundings. From the moment guests arrive via the resort’s exclusive private boat, the experience is immersive yet serene. The resort was carefully designed to respect the land, highlight the views, and offer a seamless flow from indoor comfort to outdoor wonder.
Sustainable practices, such as locally sourced cuisine, eco-friendly materials, and a commitment to preserving biodiversity, ensure that the magic of Isla Mujeres endures for future generations.
Where Every Day Feels Like a Discovery
Whether you're exploring the vibrant marine life just offshore, walking through the colorful streets of downtown Isla, or simply savoring a quiet moment on your suite's ocean-view terrace, every experience at Almare connects you to the soul of the island.
This is more than a beach getaway. It’s a journey into the heart of a place where nature, culture, and luxury live side by side.
And the best part? It’s all just 30 minutes from Cancún—and a world away from the ordinary.
