Isla Mujeres Secures Third World Travel Awards in a Row
On October 17, 2026, Isla Mujeres was awarded the prestigious World Travel Awards again, securing the title of 'México y Centroamérica's Leading Island Destination' for the third consecutive year. This achievement not only solidifies Isla Mujeres' position as a top tourist destination in the region but also highlights the destination's natural beauty, services, and hospitality. The award-winning island has faced stiff competition from other Caribbean Mexican and Central American destinations, including Cozumel, Holbox, Ambergris Caye, Isla Coiba, Roatán, and Little Corn Island.

Mayor Isla del Mar Magaña López celebrated the recognition, emphasizing that the accolade reflects the island's natural attractions, tourist services, and the exceptional treatment it provides to both national and international visitors. The award acknowledges the contribution of various sectors that support the tourism industry, including hoteliers, restaurateurs, service providers, merchants, and workers.
The World Travel Awards, a global industry benchmark, have recognized Isla Mujeres' excellence in different segments of the tourism sector through a process of international voting. The award serves as a new endorsement for Isla Mujeres' international projection, with its beaches, natural wealth, and tourism offerings being key factors in attracting visitors to the Caribbean Mexican region.
Notably, this award is part of a broader recognition of Quintana Roo's tourism landscape, with other destinations in the state winning in this edition, further reinforcing its position as a global player in the tourism market.
