Far out to sea you can spy a myriad of colours, some moving through the sky and others sliding over the water… Is it a bird? Is it a boat? No! It’s a kitesurfer! Kitesurfing is a sport in which you use a power kite to glide over the water on a board or a ski. There are several disciplines: freestyle, course racing and wave riding. With warm temperatures and turquoise blue beaches, Cuba is becoming an increasingly popular destination for this type of sport. The Sol Cayo Guillermo, an All-Inclusive Four-Star Resort, is on one of the most beautiful beaches on the Jardines del Rey archipelago, very close to Pilar beach and near one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the resort is well-known for its entertainment programme and comfortable rooms in tropical-style bungalows

Winter will soon be here, so it’s time for families, friends and couples to start planning their holidays. One of the most cost-effective and rewarding options is ecotourism. When you travel, you can also be respectful of the environment and cause little or no pollution. This involves choosing the right accommodation and method of transport, and above all showing respect for the people and area at your destination. If you’re thinking about visiting Cuba, let us suggest a place that will surprise you with an unspoilt landscape, clean air, crystal-clear waters and fine white sand. Well-known for its turtle observation, egg-laying and newborn release programme, few Caribbean locations can compete with the beauty of the seabeds at Cayo Largo del Sur, since its warm waters are home to a wide variety of underwater flora and fauna. One of its most stunning sites, Playa Paraíso, was listed in Travellers’ Choice as the eleventh best beach worldwide.
