Cayo Ensenachos is located in the province of Villa Clara in Cuba, very close to Cayo Santa María. Its small size makes it the smallest of the Cayos del Norte, but one of the most beautiful of the Cuban archipelago. There you can find the best beaches in the area: Los Ensenachos and El Mégano, with small waves and spectacular waters with shades between green and blue.

It was an old aboriginal settlement and is almost preserved as a virgin cayo (key) with native species of flora and fauna. Here you can enjoy absolute tranquility, finding very few people even in the busiest times. It also has an upscale hotel facility, which gives the destination a seal of exclusivity.

The tranquil atmosphere breathed here will allow you enjoy in an absolutely idyllic setting one of the most pure keys of the island.
