Cayo Levisa
An offshore island reachable only by ferry, with a 3 km white-sand beach and reef snorkeling. It feels even more secluded than Cayo Jutías.
Cayo Levisa belongs to the Archipiélago de los Colorados and is about 60 km by road from Viñales. First head to the Palma Rubia pier, then take a ferry to the island, which takes about 35 minutes. The north shore has a fine white-sand beach about 3 km long with clear water. The reef offshore is good for snorkeling and diving. The island has just one state-run resort hotel and a restaurant, and no other residents, so it is very quiet. Day trips can be booked in town as a package including transport and ferry tickets, or you can stay overnight on the island. Ferry services are limited, usually running in the morning out and in the afternoon back. If you miss the last boat, you will have to wait until the next day.
Opening hours
Ferry departs about 10:00, returns about 17:00 (subject to the day's schedule)
