Your Isla Margarita Vacation at Caracola Beach and Spa Resort

How do I get to Isla Margarita?

Depending on where you live, the easiest way is to find out if there are any direct charter flights and then book "AIR ONLY".

From Canada: - Air Transat has “air only” tickets for direct flights to Isla Margarita. Air Canada has weekly direct flights from Toronto to Caracas.

From America: There are direct flights to Caracas from Houston and Miami.

What is there to do on the island?

Here are the top 5 must see sites.

1. Playa El Agua- This is the longest, widest, and most popular beach on Isla Margarita. This also results in it being the busiest, but most serviced beach on the island where visitors can find many sport activities, concerts, bars, and restaurants.

2. Playa El Yague- This is one of the world’s best spots for wind and kite surfing whether you are a beginner or more advanced. If you are lucky, you will even catch expert windsurfers training for international competitions.

3. Los Roques- This is one of the best snorkeling locations in the Caribbean. This area contains around 150 islands that offer white sand beaches accompanied by crystal clear waters. This location also offers one of the best coral reefs in the entire world. A flight to Los Roques takes about an hour from Margarita Island, but it is well worth it.

4. Lagoon La Restinga- If you are in need of a break from the beaches, Lagoon La Restinga is one of the best national parks around. This park offers a lagoon with mangrove swamps and colorful flamingos. La Restinga is about an hour boat ride away from Isla Margarita but if you go in the morning you will see many different varieties of fish, dolphins and about 100 bird species.

5. Porlamar- This is the largest city on Isla Margarita and is the island’s center of commerce. To get the best prices on goods, shop on Boulevard Guevara. If you are looking for higher-end, more elegant stores visit the avenues of Santiago Marino and 4 de Mayo. Isla Margarita is a duty-free port which means that goods are declared exempt from tax.
