Miles away from mainland Cuba, vacations to Cayo Largo will take you to one of the largest islands in the Los Canarreos Archipelago where thick mangrove forests, breathtaking coral reefs, and miles and miles of sandy beaches remain untouched in all their pristine beauty.
Cayo Largo has no permanent human settlement and even those who work at the all inclusive resorts on the island only do so for a few short weeks at a time. So if you're looking for a completely isolated holiday spot with all the vacation conveniences you could possibly want, that's exactly what you will find in Cayo Largo.
Put on your diving gear and hunt for buried treasure in the 200-odd shipwrecks off the island's shores, join birders looking for rare species in the mangrove forests, or take a boat tour to nearby Iguana Island where you can feed the reptiles on their home turf.
Being far from the mainland by no means equates to a boring vacation — resorts on the island provide in-house entertainment options ranging from music and dancing to beach parties and team sports. No matter what you choose to do, know that most tours and activities on Cayo Largo include access to a bar, ensuring you're never far from a cool cocktail when you need it.
