Facing the eastern coast of Venezuela, a forty-five minute flight from Caracas, Margarita’s white and pink beaches, cliffs and lagoons are mirrored in the Caribbean. The name comes from the Greek word for pearl, and pearls of legendary size were once found in its waters. It is in fact two islands joined by an eighteen-kilometre isthmus: Margarita to the east, the Macanao peninsula to the west.
Why it works for your clients
Margarita is the beach chapter for clients who want a proper hotel — a pool, a spa, a choice of restaurants — rather than a posada, and for groups too large for the small houses of Los Roques. It also carries larger aircraft, which makes it straightforward for families and series. Two national parks and three natural reserves sit alongside the nightlife, the casinos and the duty-free shopping.
How we operate it
Scheduled flights from Caracas, our airport assistance at both ends, hotels we contract directly, and private day excursions by boat or 4×4 — Laguna de La Restinga, a day at sea on Coche, a kite session at El Yaque — for parties who want more than the beach.
