Isla Mujeres, a secluded island sanctuary just over six miles northeast of Cancun, is surrounded by crystalline waters, is close to amazing coral reefs and boasts one of the whitest beaches in all of Mexico. Isla's terrain is flat with beaches on all sides. This charming island fishing village is located only 20 minutes by boat from Cancun, is only five miles long and half a mile wide with a downtown area of just four by six blocks. A laid-back island retreat, Isla Mujeres seems worlds away from modern, high-energy Cancun, but visitors will find great restaurants, fun bars and wonderful handicraft shops in the colorful downtown area. The island was used by the Mayan people as a sanctuary dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of love and fertility. According to the legend, when the Spanish arrived they found a large number of female statues carved in stone in honor of the goddess, and it is from here that the island gets it’s name "Isla Mujeres" (The Island of Women).
