The Place
Iberostar Coral Esmeralda, Cayo Cruz, Cuba
Location, Location, Location
This lesser-travelled area of Cuba is appealing for fans of the island but looking for something new. Cayo Cruz is a narrow key located in the Jardines del Rey (King’s Gardens), which is part of a sandy-beach dotted archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean that runs 200 kilometres along the north coast of Cuba.
A Tropical Paradise Indeed
Iberostar Coral Esmeralda sits on a secluded beach, giving this adults-only resort an exclusive feel, and a boutique hotel within a resort appeal. Coral Level guests have the best of both worlds – the space of an expansive resort and the service of an upscale hotel. Take a dip directly from your swim-up suite, or book a rooftop suite for unparalleled views of the Atlantic.
Self-Care Pursuits
Peace and quiet are the buzzwords here, with a focus on non-motorized water sports, which help to maintain the natural balance and well-being of the sea. Take a Spanish lesson, or maybe a dance lesson, or try a Tai Chi class to help you feel centred and strong. The spa features water circuits, massage treatments and soothing saunas.
Serenity Now
The lobby will make you want to linger: from listening to tunes playing on the baby grand piano to the open air verandah, it feels like home. The low-slung architecture doesn’t disrupt the desert-like landscape, and the sweeping swimming pool lines the buildings’ edges. Toast the day at the al fresco terrace, or take a swim in some of the bluest-blue water in the Caribbean.
Hungry?
The gastronomy offered at Coral Esmeralda features elevated Cuban cuisine, Mediterranean and international fare, as well as Creole flavours. And it wouldn’t be Cuba without a cigar bar. At Cedro, you can indulge in a perfectly hand-rolled Cuban cigar and sip on a crafted cocktail.
