Located at the entrance to the Bahia de Samana, Cayo Levantado is an islet of just one square kilometre, a little tropical Caribbean gem.
It is a perfect place to get away for a day. Experience its beautiful beaches with crystal clear turquoise waters and white sand, ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
This island is also known as "Bacardi Island" because it is home to the palm trees that appear in ads for the brand of rum.
