About Cuba
Cuba, the epitome of Latin America, conjures up images of salsa, fat cigars and American vintage motorcars.
The legacy of its Spanish conquerors can be seen everywhere, on Havana's cobbled streets and the aging façades of beautiful
buildings. Visit Cuba once and it will steal your heart, with its people, intriguing history and powder-white beaches all making
Cuba an amazing holiday destination.
Our Travellers Guide
Beaches in Cuba
Covering nearly 6,000 kilometres of coastline, on this holiday you will be spoilt for choice with almost 300 natural beaches; Varadero’s
white sandy stretch and Cayo Coco's powdery shores are regarded as some of the best.
Sports
Cuba is ideal for snorkellers and divers who come from all around the globe to explore one of the world's largest coral reefs, just off
Cuba’s coast. Deep-sea fishing, rock climbing and trekking are also popular on this holiday.
Local tastes
For a real taste of Cuba, dine at one of Havana’s Paladares - a small restaurant, run out of a Cuban's home. Fresh seafood is a very
popular choice and many dishes have a Spanish or Creole flavour. Cocktails are legendary here; try Cuba Libre, rum, coke and fresh limejuice
or Havana's famous Daiquiri, the favourite Cuban tipple of the late Ernest Hemingway.
Evening flavour
Havana by night is exactly how you imagined; it comes alive with salsa and Afro-Cuban bars, bursting at their seams with rhythm and people.
Havana has many restaurants and clubs including the world-famous Club Tropicana, a spectacular cabaret show. In the beach resorts, nightlife
tends to be centred around holiday hotels and in Varadero you will find a small selection of restaurants and bars.
Best buys
World-renowned Havana cigars, fresh Cuban coffee, such as Cubiata, and legendary Havana Club rum are great buys, which you can purchase at
excellent prices. You will find Cuba's icon, Che Guevara on everything, which makes for a great quirky holiday souvenir. A license is needed
to export some works of art from Cuba.
Live the Experience
No holiday to Cuba would be complete without visiting the capital Havana, a captivating city, where monuments of the communist revolution
