Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

The tourism guide lists windsurfing and kitesurfing as the main attractions at Playa El Yaque on Margarita Island. This gives the choice of destination a clear watersports focus. MargaritaKite also describes El Yaque as a kitesurfing spot and characterizes the wind as present almost year-round. If you’re looking for hotels in El Yaque, you can first consider whether this focus suits the purpose of your trip. For nature and cultural interests, there are also regional points of reference within the broader destination of Nueva Esparta.

Wind and watersports in El Yaque

According to MargaritaKite, El Yaque is windy almost all year round. The provider gives an average wind speed that is usually above 13 knots; gusts can reach up to 35 knots. According to MargaritaKite, it is windy on almost every day of almost the entire year. These figures describe the general wind profile, not the conditions on a particular travel date. The tourism guide lists windsurfing and kitesurfing side by side as the main attractions at Playa El Yaque; MargaritaKite particularly highlights the kitesurfing spot and its wind characteristics.

MargaritaKite facilities

As a specific point of reference, MargaritaKite gives its own location as being in the center of El Yaque on Margarita Island, 15 meters from Kitebeach. Check this location information before your visit. The kitesurfing area described includes a space for cleaning kites, a grassy area, an air compressor, and a shower; a team is also on hand to assist with launching and landing. According to the provider, the chill area includes free Wi-Fi, a snack bar, toilets, and armchairs. The information thus brings together facilities related to kitesurfing operations and a separately designated chill area.

Nueva Esparta: nature and culture

The broader destination of Nueva Esparta comprises the three islands of Margarita, Coche, and Cubagua. Parque Nacional Laguna de la Restinga offers a different thematic focus: in a publication dated March 23, 2026, MINTUR described the park as suitable for birdwatching and observing seahorses. The park is described as a recognized nature reserve. The island setting helps put these themes into context: watersports are El Yaque’s specific draw, while the park is another nature-related topic within the broader destination.

Culture also offers a regional connection. Six cultural figures from Nueva Esparta received the award “Living Cultural Heritage of the Bolivarian State of Nueva Esparta” in 2026; a report dated September 23, 2026, covered the award. This recognition adds a cultural aspect of the broader destination to its nature and watersports connections.
