In Cayo Largo you can bonefish on white sand flats while your family enjoys the breathtaking beaches; enjoys a cocktail in the hotel pool, or participates in one of the numerous activities the resort offers.

Cayo Largo del Sur, also known simply as Cayo Largo, is a small resort island belonging to Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. It is the second-biggest island in Cuba's Canarreos Archipelago. Although only a relatively small island it is blessed with an almost continuous stretch of pretty beaches. Notably along its south coast, there are six beaches all of which will be able to satisfy your sun and sand lust: Playa Sirena, Playa Lindaman, Playa Blanca, Playa los Cocos, Playa Tortuga and Playa Luna.

The northern side of Cayo Largo, where the submarine shelf is extended, is the ideal environment for fly fishing enthusiasts; it measures an average depth of 1.5 metres, ideal depths for Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle. You will also be able to see Permit up to 45lb zipping and darting in and around schools of Bonefish. This is a big Bonefish destination where the average weight is about 6lbs. You cannot beat stalking these Bonefish while wading in lukewarm water on the sand flats. The coral barrier protects the south side of Cayo Largo with its white beach of fine sands, which is a fantastic place for wading. The majority of Cayo Largo Flats have firm bottom ideal for wading and most days you will have the option of either fly fishing from the skiff or walking these stunning flats.

The real beauty of this fishing is that with our partners we have divided all this vast area in to 38 different zones. All zones are rotated about making sure that we always have areas that are well and truly rested. Each evening you, our fly fishing manager and the guides will determine the next day's schedule because of careful rotation of the productive areas to ensure the grounds are rested.

There is an abundance of natural wildlife including iguanas and giant sea turtles. Staying here however is about as much a Cuban experience as lying under a sun bed with a bottle of rum at your side. This destination combined with the Sol luxury hotel with all its amenities along with the stunning beaches is going to make this an ideal family friendly holiday. This package has been put together with both the angler in mind with 6 full days fishing and for all non anglers with 10 days of beach fun and sun.
