Cayo Saetia is pristine cay, located 120 km (75 mi) southeast of Holguin between the Bay of Nipe & the Atlantic Ocean. The island isn’t very easy to get to, but if isolated and totally unpopulated, sugar-white cove beaches are of interest to you, it could without doubt be worth the effort. A one-time exclusive game resort, the cay has an exceptional roster of flora and fauna, which includes not just deer and wild boar, but also a wild collection of exotic animals like antelopes, ostrich, water buffalo, and zebras. Most excursions include snorkeling, boat trips, jeep safaris, horseback riding, and lunch on the beach.

There’s one hotel on the cay, Villa Cayo Saetia, with 12 nice cabanas. Cayo Saetia is about 90 minutes from Guardalavaca by car and just 20 minutes by helicopter the preferred method of transport from the beach area.
