Cayo Levisa Island is a little nook of beach bliss off Cuba’s north coast. Heading for the island, you’ll be following in the footsteps of Hemingway, who discovered this archipelago on a fishing trip from Cayo Paraíso - the next islet along. You’ll spend two nights in a basic mid-sized resort on Cayo Levisa, without a care in the world. It’s sun-drenched, secluded and downright dreamy.

Day 1 – Arrival on Cayo Levisa

When you reach the small harbour at Palma Rubia, you’ll hop in a boat for the 45-minute crossing to Cayo Levisa. Needless to say, it’s a really beautiful ride. Uninterrupted sapphire waters shimmer in the sunlight until the sugary sands of Cayo Levisa appear on the horizon.

You’ll stay in a simple wooden cabana next to the spotless white beach, where there isn’t a grain of sand out of place. Each cabin has air-conditioning television and a little terrace for kicking back and soaking up the sea views. The resort is home to a small restaurant (meals are included), as well as a bar and a handy shop – everything you need on your doorstep. Its a little outdated, but we think the setting more than makes up for it.

Days 2-3 – Free time & departure

The island is all about taking a break from reality. Doze under a coconut palm, collapse into a lounger and cool down with a dip in the bright blue sea. Forget all about your real-world troubles – and your shoes. If you’re itching to explore, hire a kayak and paddle around the coastline, drinking in the views and the sunshine as you go.
