Cayo Coco is a beautiful tropical Island in the Jardines del Rey archipelago just off the coast of mainland Cuba, best known for its coral-white sand beaches, lapping turquoise waters, and perfectly positioned all-inclusive resorts. This purpose-built tourist resort is a hot spot when it comes to choosing your fun-loving family or romantic couples holiday accommodation, complete with all the ingredients for that Caribbean beach escape you’ve been dreaming of.
If you like to lap up the island life, (who doesn’t?), then you’re in for a treat when you visit this idyllic resort. There’s a host of exciting activities and excursions to get involved in at Cayo Coco if you can drag yourself away from your sun lounger that is – from adrenaline-pumping scuba diving and speedboat tours through the lush mangroves, to lazy afternoons on the beach and busy day trips to big cities. There’s also a host of fabulous beaches in the area to throw your towel down at, including Playa Larga, Flamenco Beach, Playa Pilar and Playa Prohibida, to name a few – each as beautiful as the next.
If you’re seeking a slightly faster-pace however, whisk yourself away to the city of Morón where you can experience the authentic side of Cuba – think classic cars, olde worlde architecture, sugar mills and more. If you’re a nature lover, nearby to Morón you’ll discover Laguna de La Leche, the island’s largest natural freshwater reservoir perfect for floating leisurely along while admiring the vast wildlife. Similarly, El Baga Natural Park is a must if
you want to explore the country’s well-preserved natural environment, with a selection of educational attractions perfect for little ones – be sure to keep your eyes peeled for fascinating creatures including iguanas, crocodiles, turtles and a variety of colourful Caribbean birds!
Ernest Hemingway fans will have heard about, or even visited, the legendary American novelist’s regular haunts in the capital of Havana (including Hotel Ambos Mundos and El Floridita), but you can also follow in his footsteps in Cayo Coco , too. Admire the Nobel Prize winning writer’s statues dotted along the “Puente Hemingway” bridge leading towards the neighbouring isle of Cayo Guillermo (as so radiantly described in his 1970 ‘Islands in the Stream’ novel), a tasteful homage to Cuba’s rich history. Speaking of which, Cayo Guillermo is another popular tourist spot for its beautiful blonde beaches and vast diving opportunities, plus the nearby city of Camaguey boasts enchanting colonial buildings, sophisticated plazas and a labyrinth of cobbled streets with hidden gems to be discovered.
If you’re wondering where to stay in this pristine corner of the island, Love Cuba serve up a selection of luxury all-inclusive beachfront properties including the 4* Iberostar Daiquiri and 5* Melia Cayo Coco, both of which are ideal for families, couples and groups alike. When you’re not lounging on the postcard-worthy sands, indulge in a spot of R&R without leaving the home comforts of your resort – or lifting a finger. Now that’s what we call a holiday in paradise.
