Meliá Buenavista

An adults-only seaside hotel

On the crystal-clear shores of the Caribbean Sea, on the island of Cayo Santa María, surrounded by three paradise beaches and wild coves, the Meliá Buenavista hotel invites you to enjoy a heavenly and romantic retreat. Its 104 suites, all grouped together in small two-storey buildings, offer spacious comfort and are decorated with a touch of contemporary elegance. Each of the rooms has a pleasant terrace overlooking the azure sea, the resort's two swimming pools or the lush gardens. For greater privacy, the hotel also offers 4 villas, three of which feature a contemporary design, bathed in light thanks to huge bay windows, and equipped with a private pool. The Zaida del Rio villa immerses visitors in a more traditional style, reflecting Caribbean charm, and offers direct access to the beach. On the culinary front, the Meliá's 3 restaurants offer an international à la carte menu, which you can enjoy to the sounds of Cuban music played by local artists, while admiring the sun setting peacefully over the sea. At the Meliá Buenavista, the agenda for the day consists of basking in the sun on the magnificent white sand beaches, enjoying nature or trying out water sports, exploring superb diving sites where marine fauna abounds and dazzles with its colours. And to recharge your mind, head to the Yhi Spa, a wellness sanctuary with its Cuban treatment rooms and relaxing facilities.
