Cayo Guillermo
The tropical island of Cayo Guillermo lies off the central coast of Cuba in the Jardines del Rey archipelago. Beaches like the Playa el Paso, Playa del Medio and Playa Pilar provide soft, golden-sanded sands lapped by calm turquoise waters, backed by magnificent dunes. Long stretches of abundant coral reefs lie just offshore offering the chance to enjoy spectacular diving and snorkelling among brightly coloured marine life. In particular, the Cayo Media Luna island’s surrounds (just north of Playa Pilar) are filled with fantastic dive sites. Arguably the top sport fishing destination in the country, Cayo Guillermo is home to both deep-sea and freshwater fishing spots, often within walking distance of each other. Numerous luxury hotels, resorts and spas provide travellers with all the trimmings.
