Cayo Las Brujas, Cuba | The most complete tourist guide!

¡Bienvenidos!

Cayo Las Brujas is a tiny island of about 7 km2 (2.7 sq. mi) located off the northern coast of the Cuban province of Villa Clara. With its two neighbors, Cayo Ensenachos and Cayo Santa Maria, they together form a beautiful and quiet resort destination with amazing beaches, called "Los Cayos de Villa Clara". The names "Cayo Las Brujas" and "Cayo Ensenachos" are however less known because this popular destination is often simply called by the name of its main island, Cayo Santa Maria. While browsing through this website, you will notice that several of the links in the top menu redirect you to our website about Cayo Santa Maria; this is in ordrer to avoid repeating the information that is common to the three cayos.

In the Hôtels section of this website you will find information on the hotels (present and future) that are specifically located on Cayo las Brujas, for information on the other hotels of the archipelago, visit our websites on Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Ensenachos.

These cays are connected to the main island of Cuba by a 48-km (30-mi) causeway Pedraplen, from the coastal town of Caibarien. The construction of the Pedraplen began in 1989 and was completed in 1999, paving the way for the development of mass tourism in these cayos.

The Cayos of Villas Clara (Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Las Brujas and Cayo Ensenachos) offer 22 hotels for a total of 12,000 rooms and many services. Tourism development started first on Cayo Las Brujas in 1999 with the opening of the first hotel in this region, followed by Cayo Santa Maria (first hotel in 2001) and Cayo Ensenachos (2005).

Cayo las Brujas boasts two stunning beaches with fine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters.The area is also a world-class location for fishing.

The "Cayos de Villa Clara" are part of a much larger archipelago called Jardines del Rey (King's Gardens) which is currently one of the most active area in Cuba for tourism development. This archipelago should reach a capacity of about 32,000 rooms distributed in the following islands: (from west to east): Cayo Las Brujas, Cayo Ensenachos, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Guillermo, Cayo Coco, Cayo Paredon Grande and Cayo Cruz.

With the nearest international airport being located in Santa Clara (the capital of the Villa Clara province), it takes about 80 minutes by bus to reach Cayo Las Brujas from the Abel Santamaria Airport; the first 60 minutes or so are through the Cuban countryside and the towns of Camajuani, Remedios, and Caibarien; and the last 20 minutes on the causeway (el pedraplen) over the sea. The Cuban government has built in 2014 a road to bypass the village of Remedios.

However the ride is not monotonous, on the contrary; it gives you the opportunity to visit a bit the region and admire the scenery. Besides, a local guide accompanies each bus carrying tourists to the cayos, he/she describes what we see along the way and talks about the region, the local industries, and about Cuba in general.
