Top four reasons to make Cayo Largo your winter retreat
Does a remote island with breathtaking natural beauty at an incredibly affordable price point sound like your next getaway? You might call it paradise, we call it Cayo Largo! Not only is this stunning isle the perfect sun-soaked destination for laidback, no fuss all inclusive vacations in Cuba, it’s also exclusive to Sunwing Vacations travellers in Canada, where everyone you meet becomes like family. Whether this is your first time heading to this tranquil locale or you’ve been a loyal Cayo Largo traveller for years, we’re digging into why you should make this Caribbean gem your winter oasis.
Clear your head by heading to the beach
One look at Cayo Largo’s brilliant, white-sand beaches and you’ll think you’ve found heaven on earth! With some of the best beaches in Cuba – maybe even the entire Caribbean – the coastline will be where you find yourself most days, and even nights as well, taking in the scenery in peace. The two standouts have to be Playa Sirena and Playa Paraiso, on the western tip of the island, away from the resorts but not too far that you’ll dread the walk over. These wide stretches of sand lay side by side and offer plenty of space to relax, catch some rays, soak in the serenity and more! Here’s a great tip: take in one of the most stunning sunrises you’ve ever seen with a morning stroll along the coast.
Find your Zen in the Caribbean Sea
We can’t talk about the island’s beaches and natural beauty without mentioning the sea that surrounds them. Cayo Largo is blessed with calm, crystal-clear waters offering some of the best conditions for swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving – and even a wade or two. Just off the coast, there are over 30 dive sites and a protected marine reserve that you can see for yourself on a Cayo Largo excursion, not to mention a colourful coral reef that’s perfect for beginners and a leisurely snorkel. If you’re looking to stay above the waves, it’s hard to top a sunset catamaran cruise along the coast, watching as the skies are painted with ethereal orange, yellow and red tones – now that’s a soothing sight!
Tune in to nature and tune out the stress
We don’t know about you, but one of our favourite ways to de-stress is to get out and marvel at nature and there aren’t many places more beautiful than Cayo Largo. The island is inhabited by a host of unique creatures, from reptiles to birds, that roam as freely as you do, maybe even more so. If you’re so inclined, you can get up close and personal to a few of these locals, like the iguanas that parade the shores of Iguana Island looking for tasty morsels. Want something a little more friendly but just as memorable? Visit the Sea Turtle Rescue Center in town, a short drive away from any Cayo Largo resort, where you can learn about the island’s efforts to protect these endangered species. You can hold and feed some, too!
Build a community of like-minded travellers
There’s nothing quite like going on vacation and feeling right at home – well that’s what you get with our Cayo Largo all inclusive packages!
