Las Brujas Airport (BWW)

Las Brujas Airport (BWW) is a critical regional aviation facility serving the idyllic resort islands of Cayo Las Brujas and Cayo Santa María in the Villa Clara Province of Cuba. Situated on the northern coast of the main island, the airport provides a vital transportation node for the region’s thriving luxury tourism sector. It serves as a primary aerial gateway for international visitors wishing to bypass the long overland journey from Havana or Santa Clara, connecting the pristine beaches of the "Jardines del Rey" archipelago with the national capital. The airport operates through a single, minimalist passenger terminal building designed for functional efficiency and ease of transit. The facility is intelligently organized into two main halls: one dedicated to departures and check-in, and another for arrivals and baggage claim. This compact layout is a significant advantage for travelers, ensuring that all essential services are within short walking distance and allowing for rapid processing from the aircraft to the main exit. The terminal’s design reflects the rustic and tropical character of the surrounding cays, providing a welcoming entry point for nature enthusiasts and sun-seekers. Inside the terminal, passengers have access to essential amenities tailored to the needs of leisure travelers. The facility hosts basic check-in counters, a sheltered waiting hall, and a small refreshment kiosk serving local Cuban coffee and light snacks. While the airport does not manage high volumes of regular scheduled commercial traffic, it is a vital node for seasonal charter operations and weekly domestic flights from Havana’s José Martí International Airport. The airfield features a well-maintained 1,803-meter asphalt runway designated 09/27, which is engineered to support the ATR and other turboprop aircraft commonly used for island transit. Ground transportation at BWW is well-integrated with the local resort infrastructure, with most hotels providing pre-arranged shuttle transfers directly from the arrivals hall. The airport is conveniently located just a short three-to-five-kilometer drive from the major resorts on Cayo Las Brujas and approximately 15 to 20 minutes from the expansive hotel developments on Cayo Santa María via the Pedrapén causeway. While there are no professional international car rental agencies directly at the airfield, official taxis are readily available outside the main exit. Travelers are encouraged to coordinate their onward transportation in advance, as visitor amenities within the immediate airport perimeter are limited to basic restroom facilities.
