As the sun melts towards the sea, amber streaks stretch across the horizon. My wife, Edel, and I sip champagne, savouring the scene as our dinner sizzles on a grill nearby.
Almost everyone we’ve spoken to since arriving on Holbox, a 42km-sliver of paradise some 10km off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, has urged us not to miss the spectacular sunsets. Tonight, on our table-for-two on the sand, specially set up by the restaurant team at Mystique Holbox by Royalton where we’re staying, we have the best seats in the house.
