Checking in… Paradisus Los Cayos

This super slick all inclusive Melia eco-resort set on the beautiful northern coast of Cuba combines exquisite architecture with a striking coastal landscape and a wide range of accommodation to suit all needs.

Take a pick from the three and four-storey bungalows with spacious junior suites, some of which offer swim up pools, while the exclusive Royal Service for adults only and the welcoming Family Concierge areas ensure that all holidaymakers can feel treated to the facilities and services they crave the most.

If the accommodation offering hasn’t already got you itching to book that flight, then the dining options certainly will.

Eight restaurants include Bana, where Oriental and Japanese cuisine is fused with authentic Caribbean flavours, Fuego, a Latin fusion restaurant, the romantic Passion restaurant and Vento which serves classic Mediterranean dishes.

Activities abound and a nearby diving centre and marina will arrange excursions for guests to diving sites, plus fishing and sailing trips. The Jardines del ray coral reef, second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef itself, boast 24 dive sites ideal for scuba diving and underwater photography.

Back on land, don’t miss the chance to discover the Escambray Mountains, either on foot, by bike or horse-riding.
