The resort provides funding for the refurbishing of the Holboce–os' colorful original Þshing village. Residents and guests of the resort will work alongside archeologists and cultural anthropologists to resurrect Classic Period Mayan ruins dated back to the ninth century AD when the Maya with their sophisticated culture and technological expertise mysteriously vanished from the island. Because things will be done with commitment and intent, the culture of Holbox will breathe through the resort, synchronizing past, present and future as in no other resort in the New World.

The developer is keenly aware that issues such as climate change, regulatory risks, environmental degradation, water and power management, and responsiveness to the local community need to be addressed as part of the development process for this ecologically signiÞcant island. Therefore, the developer has assembled a team of some of the world's top environmental experts, master planners, ethnologists, biologists, historians and eco-resort operators to assist in the development process.
