Sunset 2BR Apartment Steps from the Beach w/Ocean View
Welcome to your Holbox hideaway. This spacious and thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment at Yumbalam by Groovy Stays is just a 3-minute walk from Punta Cocos, Holbox’s most peaceful beach, and offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and barefoot luxury.
Ideal for families, couples, or small groups, the apartment features one king bed and two queen beds, artisan touches, and a laid-back vibe. The open-concept living area includes a cozy lounge space and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook up your favorite meals.
Step out onto your private terrace overlooking the lush tropical garden and serene pool—a perfect spot to sip morning coffee or stargaze at night. While you won’t catch sunsets from the terrace, both bedrooms offer ocean views and a front-row seat to Holbox’s breathtaking sunsets. Each bathroom is stocked with personal care essentials, and the entire apartment is equipped with A/C and high-speed Starlink WiFi (50 Mbps) for remote work or streaming.
Guests enjoy access to a tranquil shared pool with sun loungers, surrounded by palm trees and island breezes. Whether you`re here to relax, reconnect, or explore, this is the perfect place to unwind.
Located just a 10-minute walk from the bioluminescent lagoon and a 30-minute beach walk or quick golf cart ride from the town center, you’ll be surrounded by birdsong, sandy paths, and the untouched charm of Holbox.

We had an amazing time at Yum Balam. Excellent communication with the host and our concierge, Karina was so responsive and helpful. She helped us arrange an easy transportation from Cancun airport to apartment and any tour we wanted to go on: 3 Islands Tour, Whale Shark Tour and Bioluminescent Tour. As well as giving us a list of activities and restaurants. So easy to get a taxi to the center of town and back. Can’t wait for next time!
