Just a few kilometres off the easternmost tip of Mexico in the startlingly clear Caribbean, ISLA MUJERES is substantially mellower than Cancún, drawing people for long stays despite the lack of tourist attractions and wild nightlife. A hippie hangout in the 1970s, the tiny island still retains an air of bohemian languor, with wild-haired baby-boomers passing on travel wisdom to a new generation of young backpackers.
