Cayo Largo Abajo — Your Private Caribbean Island in a Protected National Park

Are you looking for a secluded, peaceful hideaway where Caribbean sunshine, crystal-clear blue water, and a sugar-white sandy beach are waiting for you? Exceptional cuisine, exciting activities, or simply pure relaxation await. Cayo Largo is part of the Cayos Cochinos Marine Protected Area, which consists of two main islands and twelve smaller coral islands. It sits along the world’s second-largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Reef.

The PADI dive center on Cayo Menor offers a reliable valet diving service to the dive sites—most just a few minutes away by boat.

Location & facilities

Cayo Largo can be reached by boat from La Ceiba (about 60 minutes) or by helicopter from San Pedro Sula Airport (about 60 minutes) to Cayo Menor. From there, it’s a short boat ride (10 minutes) to the island.

Accommodation

Cayo Largo is a small, private Caribbean retreat for up to 18 guests, guaranteeing the privacy you’re looking for. On the ground floor, there are three rooms—each with two twin beds and two queen beds (bunk beds)—all with en-suite bathrooms, plus a shared living room, kitchen, and dining area. Upstairs, there are two rooms: one with two queen beds and a suite with a king bed. All rooms feature air conditioning, Wi-Fi (Starlink), and fans. A shared terrace with a bar and lounge area overlooks the beach and the sea.
