Cuba Islands

Cuba

Cuba’s islands have some of the country’s most impressive and secluded beaches, as well as some of the most luxurious accommodations. These islands serve as a home base for exploring Cuba’s offshore reefs, including the rare black coral that’s found just off the coast of Cayo Levisa. Cayo Coco is one of Cuba’s most popular islands, and for good reason — the beach has soft white sand and borders a stunning section of the Atlantic Ocean.

Cuba's island resorts offer you the perfect piece of paradise, because you can enjoy nature and deluxe amenities. Spend your days searching for shells, exploring mangroves, and diving; and your nights salsa dancing, sipping expertly crafted cocktails, and falling asleep to the gentle sounds of the ocean. By the time your vacation is over, Cuba's islands will have you wanting to leave the mainland behind for good.

Cuba Highlights

A curated look at the best Cuba has to offer. These are the destinations that consistently stand out — places with real character, great experiences, and something worth going out of your way for.

Isla de la Juventud

Isla de la Juventud

Isla de la Juventud is Cuba’s largest island, and an off-the-beaten path destination. For centuries, visitors came here to look for treasure left behind by Spanish pirates. Now visitors come for the island’s nature reserves and secluded beaches. Unlike many beach destinations in Cuba, this island’s main attraction is nature reserves and not resorts.

Cayo Largo del Sur

Cayo Largo del Sur

Cayo Largo del Sur has 16 miles (26 km) of picture-perfect white sand beaches. Visitors to this island get to choose from a bounty of all-inclusive resorts. The island has never had a significant Cuban population – it was developed simply so that visitors could come and experience its incredible beaches. Visitors typically spend their days bird watching, scuba diving, or relaxing on the beach.

Cayo Levisa

Cayo Levisa

Cayo Levisa is a tranquil little island off the northwestern coast of Cuba. There’s only one hotel here, and many travelers visit on one-day tours. Spending a night or two here, however, will allow you to enjoy all the island has to offer— white-sand beaches, stellar scuba diving, and unlimited sunshine.

Cayo Coco & Cayo Guillermo

Cayo Coco & Cayo Guillermo
