About Cuba

Cuba, the Caribbean’s largest island, blends sun-soaked beaches, colourful colonial streets, and a rich, rhythmic culture you can feel in every corner. In Havana, the island’s beating heart, you’ll find everything from budget-friendly casas to opulent heritage hotels with rooftop sea views. Varadero tempts with luxury all-inclusive resorts, while historic gems like Trinidad offer intimate boutique stays. Whether it’s romance, family fun, or a chic city escape, Cuba’s hotels put you right where the magic happens.

In Santiago de Cuba, where Fidel Castro launched his revolution, you’ll find stunning architecture and a distinctly Caribbean vibe, while Trinidad feels like stepping back into Spanish colonial times, complete with grand mansions once owned by sugar barons. Camagüey and Santa Clara brim with art, culture, and history — Santa Clara also being home to the Che Guevara Mausoleum — and the French influence in coastal Cienfuegos gives it a unique charm. Offshore, the Jardines del Rey islands tempt with sprawling resorts, snorkelling and diving, while the quieter Isla de la Juventud offers postcard-perfect white sands.

For nature lovers, Cuba’s wild side is irresistible. The dramatic caves and limestone mountains of Viñales National Park are perfect for hiking, while Ciénaga de Zapata National Park offers prime birdwatching, diving, and untouched wetlands. Deep in the cloud forests of the Sierra Maestra, the hidden Comandancia de la Plata — Castro’s 1958 rebel base — adds a fascinating historical twist to a wilderness trek. Whether it’s vibrant nights in Havana, strolls through heritage-rich streets, or jungle adventures, Cuba delivers an unforgettable blend of experiences.
