Lumina Holbox is a boutique hotel designed to elevate the natural beauty and serene spirit of Holbox Island. Surrounded by palm groves and coastal breezes, the project blends contemporary tropical architecture with
local handcrafted materials and passive sustainable strategies.
The structure rises over sculptural brick arches that create a permeable, shaded ground level connected to the landscape. Above, three floors accommodate 38 guestrooms, each featuring private terraces, warm natural
textures, and filtered sunlight through wooden screens and hanging vegetation.
Designed as a sanctuary of calm and comfort, the hotel includes an infinity pool, a signature restaurant, and a wellness spa. Every space is planned to maximize cross-ventilation, natural lighting, and visual connection
with the island’s lush environment.
Lumina Holbox represents DR22’s commitment to thoughtful hospitality design—balancing local identity, contemporary aesthetics, and sustainable building practices.

The design process for Lumina Holbox began with an in-depth study of the island’s microclimate, vegetation, and traditional construction methods. DR22 focused on integrating passive cooling, natural shading, and open-
air circulation to minimize mechanical loads.
Using advanced BIM methodologies, the project was developed with precise coordination between structure, façade systems, and MEP concepts, ensuring efficiency and construction clarity . Material palettes were
selected to endure the coastal environment while maintaining a warm, timeless aesthetic.
Throughout all phases—from conceptual design to visualization—Lumina Holbox was shaped by a strong connection to place, aiming to offer guests an authentic yet elevated island experience.
