A tiny treasure, Cayo Santa María is one of the small islands making up the Jardines del Rey archipelago, off Cuba’s northern coast. There are no cities here, only pristine beaches, lush vegetation, a wildlife refuge and stylish resorts serving up serenity. If you tire of tranquility, a sinewy causeway leads you to the mainland for a journey to revolutionary landmarks or a taste of local culture.

CAYO SANTA MARÍA TRAVEL GUIDE

Travel-Guide_Santa-Maria.jpg
DESTINATION FACTS

Language

Spanish

What to eat

Plantains (fried or served sweetened), Cuban-style paella, fresh fruit and beach-side barbequed meats.

What to bring back

Handmade arts and crafts from local vendors at the Pueblo La Estrella, a Cuban market between resorts, and Cuban sugar from former plantations (this region used to be a hub for sugar production).

Fun Fact

Cayo Santa Maria was completely uninhabited until the construction of a pedraplén (causeway) linking it to the nearest mainland town of Caibarién in 1989. Plus, the first hotel was only built in 2001! The small key is part of the Buenavista Biosphere Reserve, home to coral reefs, pristine beaches, coastal or mangrove forests and a diversity of native flora and fauna.
