Cultural City Escapes
Cuba’s cities are alive with history, rhythm, and charm. Explore cobbled streets lined with colonial buildings, visit revolutionary landmarks, and soak up the vibrant art and music scene. Havana is the heart of it all, where vintage Cadillacs cruise past crumbling mansions and salsa beats fill the air.
Beachfront All-Inclusives
Fancy sun, sea and all the rum punch you can sip? Cuba’s beach resorts—especially in Varadero and Cayo Coco—offer crystal-clear waters, palm-lined sands, and laid-back luxury. It’s the perfect escape for total relaxation with a Cuban twist.
Adventure and Nature Holidays
From lush mountains to limestone caves and tropical forests, Cuba is bursting with natural beauty. Hike through Viñales Valley, dive coral reefs in the south, or discover flamingo-filled lagoons—this is paradise for explorers and nature lovers alike.
Step into a time capsule of colour, culture and Caribbean cool—welcome to Cuba! This unique island is like nowhere else, blending old-world elegance with sun-soaked beaches, classic cars, and music that spills out of every doorway. Whether you’re sipping mojitos in Havana or dancing the night away in Santiago, Cuba is a place that doesn’t just offer holidays—it delivers full-on, soul-stirring experiences.
Havana is Like Stepping Back in Time
There’s nowhere in the world quite like Havana. Classic 1950s cars cruise past faded pastel façades, while horse-drawn carriages clatter down cobbled streets. It's a city frozen in time, yet pulsing with life. You’ll find crumbling colonial beauty next to lively street corners filled with live music, salsa dancers, and locals ready with a warm smile and a story.
Cuba Has Its Own Famous Music Style—Son Cubano
Music is the heartbeat of Cuba, and Son Cubano is its soul. This lively, infectious blend of Spanish guitar melodies and African rhythms is the foundation of salsa. It’s everywhere—from hotel lobbies to street corners and smoky bars. Catching a live band at a local ‘Casa de la Trova’ is a must—it’s where the real magic happens.
It’s Home to Some of the World’s Best Cigars and Rum
Cuba is synonymous with premium cigars and smooth, golden rum. Visit a cigar factory in Havana or Santiago to see expert rollers at work, and tour a rum distillery to sample Havana Club straight from the source. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just curious, the rich traditions behind these Cuban icons are fascinating to experience.
Weather
Cuba enjoys warm, tropical weather all year round, with average temperatures hovering around 26–30°C. The dry season, from November to April, is the most popular time to visit, offering sunny skies and cooler breezes. The wet season (May to October) brings higher humidity and afternoon showers but also lush landscapes and fewer crowds.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The official language in Cuba is Spanish, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas, particularly in hotels, resorts and major cities. The local currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP), though tourists often use Euros or US dollars for convenience, especially at resorts and higher-end establishments. Always check which currency is preferred where you're staying.
