Luxury Cayo Santa Maria holidays are focused on your relaxation, but hotels and resorts also provide a varied programme of entertainment for their guests. There are classes in Cuban cuisine, guided tours inland, trail riding on cycles and chess tournaments to challenge you. As well as the pool, you can swim and snorkel close to the shore, windsurf or take out a paddleboat to see the island. To maintain your beauty regime, your resort provides beauty salons, saunas and well-equipped gyms
Luxury Cayo Santa Maria holidays deliver the best in gourmet cuisine, from breakfast right through to midnight snacks. At the Melia Cayo Santa Maria Spa Resort, the buffet restaurant serves breakfasts, lunches and evening meals, all with an international flavour. For a more Mediterranean theme, head to Portulano, or try an Italian dish at the Casa Da Vinci. If you're curious about Cuban delicacies, Los Cocos has a range of stunning local specialities for you to try out.
To treat yourself or someone back home to an authentically Cuban gift, a visit to the Plaza La Estrella is ideal. This small market provides local artisans and crafts people with a place to sell goods such as paintings, bags and jewellery direct to visitors. Alternatively, you could venture out to sea with Delfinario en Cayo Santa Maria on a dolphin-watching trip. These friendly creatures are easy to spot in the clear
Caribbean waters and there are many excellent photo opportunities.
