The island was aptly named by the Spaniards hundreds of years ago when they found it deserted save a shrine to Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of love and fertility. Around the shrine were hundreds of small sculptures of women (placed there by young brides wishing for Ixchel s favor). Today this shrine still sits on a hill overlooking azur water and the Garrafon Natural Reef Park, one of the many island locations where snorkelers delight in underwater mystery. Beaches on the island such as Playa Norte, Playa Paraiso and Playa Indios are known for their white powdery sand and low-key atmosphere. Isla Mujeres is so tranquil in fact that it is home to a turtle sanctuary. The high-speed ferry that takes visitors to the island is just down the road from the resort. Enjoy live music on the ferry s upper deck while glancing back at Villa del Palmar, the most beautiful resort on the mainland.
