Plaza Las Dunas

The Plaza Las Dunas (aka Pueblo Las Dunas) is located on the island of Cayo Santa Maria between hotels Melia Cayo Santa Maria and Melia Las Dunas. It was inaugurated in the summer of 2011 and is managed by Grupo de Turismo Gaviota S.A.

This is a shopping & entertainment center where tourists will find many other optional services in addition to those offered in their all-inclusive resort, and at very reasonable cost too! It's also the perfect place to go shopping for the famous Cuban cigars, rums and local handicraft.
