Cuba: So Much More than Cigars & Classic Cars!

Experience the laid back Latin vibes and pristine beaches of the Caribbean’s largest island – Cuba.

It might be famed for its cigars and classic American cars. But Cuba holidays have so much more on offer; the vibrant and colourful mix of Latin American and Spanish culture makes for a fascinating and unforgettable holiday destination.

Holidays to Cuba can mean chilled-out sleepy villages with rich culture and tradition or lively party towns with samba dancing and bright lights. There are many interesting historic sights and architecture to discover. Cuba is ever-changing and the locals will be more than willing to tell you of how the place has changed and is evolving – over a glass of rum and a cigar perhaps!

Havana is the lively capital and a fascinating city to explore, stay in one of the plush hotels where you can relax on a high terrace overlooking the city sights. There are plenty of museums, art galleries and theatres. ‘Parade Square’ is where many major events are held including the Castillo de la Real Fuerza which exhibits the most important pottery art collection in the island.

For honeymooners, a true romantic getaway can be found on The Cayos, just off Cuba’s north coast. These little gems boast stunning white sand beaches, glorious mangrove forests and colourful coral reefs. Your holiday can consist of relaxing, swimming and snorkelling by day – a must-do is a trip to Cayo Coco to experience one of the world’s largest reefs – and by night, enjoy a romantic candlelit meal and a stroll along the beach alongside glittering waters.

Varadero is one of Cuba’s most premier and plush resorts with its top class hotels and restaurants. Roof top terraces and private pools are pretty much standard, as are luxury spas offering beauty treatments and revitalising massages. For adventurous types there are plenty of water sports on offer, diving and snorkelling is popular with a magnificent coral reef to explore. For the less active types, laid back lounging and pampering is just as sought after at this chic and stylish resort.
