Canadian travel company Sunwing is adding a new destination in the Caribbean: the island of San Andres off the Caribbean cost of Colombia.

It’s another boost for San Andres, which last year saw the launch of new service from Miami on American Airlines.

Sunwing is featuring six properties on the island, all by all-inclusive operator Decameron.

The resorts include Decameron Marazul, Decameron Maryland, Decameron Aquarium, Decameron San Luis, Decameron Los Delfines and Decameron Isleno.

“To continue offering Canadians more opportunities to vacation to paradise under our wing, we’re thrilled to be adding more diverse destinations to our lineup that our customers can book this winter, including San Andrés in Colombia,” said Lyne Chayer, General Manager at Sunwing Vacations in Québec. “With beautiful beaches, natural cays that are great for diving and snorkeling, sunny skies and welcoming people, plus access to six Decameron properties offering an intimate resort getaway, we’re excited for our customers to experience the richness of Colombia in this beach destination this winter, and share in our love of San Andrés.”

Sunwing is launching its first flights to San Andres on Dec. 14 with direct service from Montreal.

The plan is to add more flights for the winter season “as customer demand evolves,” the company said.
