Canadians Have a New Caribbean Island to Try: Tiny, Off-the-Radar San Andres in Colombia
Canadians will soon have a new way to escape to the Caribbean — and a new place to stay when they get there. For the Winter 2025-2026 season, Sunwing Vacations is launching direct flights from Quebec City to the island of San Andrés, Colombia, a colorful Caribbean destination just off the coast of Nicaragua. The seasonal service will run from December through April, making it easier than ever for travelers in Québec to access one of the region’s most captivating — and lesser-known — islands.
San Andrés is a sun-splashed coral isle with a unique blend of South American energy and Caribbean soul, known for its vibrant culture, bright pastel buildings and the iridescent “Sea of Seven Colours.” Now, there’s a new way to enjoy it: the recently opened, all-inclusive Grand Sirenis San Andrés.
Located just seven minutes from the island’s famous Spratt Bight Beach, Grand Sirenis San Andrés is Sunwing’s newest all-inclusive partner — and an ideal pick for families, couples or groups of friends looking for a fresh and immersive Caribbean vacation.
“This hidden Caribbean gem offers an authentic and vibrant experience that perfectly complements our vacation offerings from Québec City,” said Lyne Chayer, Vice President, Québec, Sunwing Vacations Group. “And with the recent addition of Grand Sirenis San Andrés, our travel advisors and clients have even more choice for their winter getaways.”
The newly built resort features a mix of adventure and relaxation, from a gorgeous infinity pool with sweeping ocean views to a curated spa and wellness program. Guests can choose from a global selection of restaurants, including Brazilian, Italian, Japanese and a classic steakhouse. A dedicated kids’ club, live music, nightly shows and resort-led activities round out the on-site offerings.
Rooms are sleek and contemporary, with tropical accents and plenty of space to unwind after a day at the beach during your vacation.
With the launch of the Quebec City–San Andrés route, Sunwing is giving Canadian travelers a fresh reason to rediscover the Caribbean — and one of its most fascinating islands. Bookings are now open for winter 2025-2026 travel through Sunwing Vacations and local travel advisors.
