A Spanish company announced it is negotiating with the Cuban government construction of a golf and marina resort on the Guanahacabibes peninsula, the western tip of the island, Caribbean News Digital first reported.

La Playa Golf & Resorts S.L. is planning to build a 4,000-hectare mixed project including apartments, villas and townhouses, three boutique hotels, seven golf courses, golf academy, marina, sport fishing club, and a horseback riding center.

According to Executive Director Roger Jordana, the Guanahacabibes Golf & Marina Resort would be the biggest on the island.

Developers are expecting the government to announce approval of four golf condominium resorts in May; tourism ministry officials are planning for 16 golf course projects throughout the island. The Guanahacabibes project has not been expected to be among the first four.

The resort would be near the Guanahacabibes National Park, a world biosphere reserve, and the tobacco-growing Viñales Valley.
