Cayo Santa Maria
Stay: Angsana Cayo Santa Maria (5 nights)
A small, seductive isle connected to Cuba's northern coast via a 30-mile-long, mangrove-lined causeway, this tiny charming island paradise – part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago – is home to eight miles of glorious white-sand beaches; shallow, clear waters; stunning natural scenery; and an abundance of diverse wildlife. Outdoor adventurers can snorkel or dive the coral reefs (which rival those of Australia); or hike on Cayo Santa Maria, Majá, Fragoso, Cobos, Las Brujas, Ensenachos, Español de Adentro, Francés and Las Picúas. Water-lovers can windsurf, swim, sail, go speedboat-racing or water-skiing. And history buffs will love the ancient caves and nearby Santa Clara's memorial museum, built in tribute to Che Guevara.
