Cayo Guillermo

Holiday Destinations / North America and Caribbean / Cuba / Travel Guide / Cayo Guillermo

Cayo Guillermo, along with neighbouring Cayo Coco, is one of the premier beach holiday destinations in Cuba.

A more serene retreat than it’s rowdier neighbour Cayo Coco, tiny Cayo Guillermo boasts 4km of stunning near-deserted beaches. With such an abundance of largely untouched sand, there’s no shortage of options for a bit of solitude but one of the beaches in Cuba that shouldn’t be missed is gorgeous Playa Pilar. On the western tip of Cayo Guillermo, Playa Pilar is named after Ernest Hemingway’s yacht, Pilar, and was the author’s favourite hideaway in Cuba. With limpid clear shallows and squeaky-clean beaches, it is without doubt the top beach choice on Guillermo, if not in the entire cays.

Because of its sheer beauty, Cayo Guillermo is popular for weddings, a romantic getaway for couples and honeymooners, and a firm favourite among beach holidays fans.
