A protected paradise

With untouched shores and some of the cleanest waters in the Caribbean, it’s love at first sight in Cayo Largo – can you blame us? The intimate island is set within a high conservation marine area, home to many migratory fish, manatees, different species of birds, the Cuban crocodile and a rescue centre for sea turtles dedicated to their protection, rehabilitation and preservation. To keep the lands and water as beautiful as they are today for generations to come, the island has committed to keeping tourism under strict, sustainable practices including a ban on plastic use, electric vehicles only and sustainable water developments.

Explorations at sea

Thanks to its protected seas, Cayo Largo has become known as one of the Caribbean’s top destinations for underwater action. Travellers can set out and explore more than 30 dive sites from the island’s own dive centre and, because of its excellent conservation measures, Cayo Largo’s marine reserve is primetime for snorkelling and scuba diving, not to mention more than 200 ancient shipwrecks with secrets to be uncovered – maybe even a treasure or two? If that’s not your thing, stay above the waves with kayaking, paddle boarding and chartered fishing trips, or simply sunbathe on sparkling sands.
