Known for beautiful white sand beaches, calm crystal clear turquoise waters, Isla Mujeres is a beautiful, peaceful paradise just across the Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women) from Cancun, Mexico. Isla Mujeres is more laid-back and tranquil than Cancun, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to do, it just means you can do nothing at all or fill your day with water sports, shopping, or exploring the island.

Traveling by ferry is the quickest and easiest way to get to the island. The closest ferry dock is located in Puerto Juarez and has boats leaving every half hour from 5:00 am until 9:30 pm and every hour after that. The crossing takes about 15 minutes.

Playa Mujeres Golf Club is recognized as one of the finest 18-hole courses in Mexico. It features several lagoons and oceanfront holes, four of which are played from or towards the beautiful white-sand beaches and turquoise-colored Mexican Caribbean Sea.

Guests of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres receive discounted greens fees at the Playa Mujeres Golf Course - we recommend making accommodations through the resort's concierage.
