Île-à-Vache
Large but dated rooms with harbor or marina views, a saltwater pool and a secluded man-made beach for snorkeling.
Île-à-Vache is a low, green island a short boat ride from Les Cayes on Haiti's southwest coast. It has no cars, only paths between fishing villages, beaches and mangrove coves, and a pace of life far from the mainland's difficulties. Snorkeling, kayaking and walks to remote beaches fill the days.
The few hotels are small and traditional. One has big, if dated, rooms with harbor or marina views, a saltwater pool and a secluded man-made beach with snorkeling. Another sits on a secluded beach with sunset views and includes buffet meals, kayaks and Wi-Fi. A traditional guesthouse has a private beach and restaurant. Plans exist for large-scale hotel development on the island.
Sources are undated, so confirm that each hotel is open. Check official travel advice before going, as the journey involves a road trip to Les Cayes or a flight, then a boat. Bring cash and sun protection.
