Camagüey
Tropical minimalism sets the tone for this sleek renovated colonial. Cleverly designed by a local architect, it wouldn't look out of place in a Miami loft strewn with ferns. Breakfasts are large. To top it all off, there's an expansive roof terrace bedecked with lights and places to lounge, making it an excellent retreat in the evenings.
Two rooms and a terrace integrate light, space, water and sustainable building materials.
