Vilo Acuña International Airport serves Cayo Largo del Sur, a narrow coral island off Cuba's southern coast known almost exclusively for its resort tourism and spectacular beaches. The airport was built to support the island's all-inclusive hotel enclave and handles primarily charter and tourist flights from Canada, Europe, and other Caribbean points. It plays a vital role as the sole air entry point to this otherwise remote and car-free island.
- Main Terminal — A single modest terminal building handling all international charter arrivals and departures with basic passenger facilities.
- Hotel transfer buses arranged by all-inclusive resorts
- Taxi services operated on the island for resort-to-resort transfers
- Bicycle rentals available near resort areas
- Sol Cayo Largo
- Meliá Cayo Largo
- Pelícano Hotel
- Isla del Sur
The terminal offers very limited food and beverage options, primarily a small snack bar for departing passengers. All dining experiences on Cayo Largo del Sur are concentrated within the all-inclusive resort complexes, which offer buffet and à la carte restaurants featuring Cuban and international cuisine. Visitors should not expect independent restaurants or cafés beyond the resort zone.
- All accommodation on the island is all-inclusive; arrange hotel transfers before arrival as taxis are scarce.
- Bring Cuban convertible pesos or euros as card payment infrastructure on the island is limited.
- The airport has minimal shopping, so purchase duty-free items before departing Havana or your home airport.
- Flights are almost entirely charter-based; confirm your operator's check-in requirements well in advance.
