Cuba’s Top Destinations

Havana — The capital is a must-see for every visitor. Explore the UNESCO-listed Old Havana, ride in a classic American car along the Malecón seafront, and discover world-class restaurants, rooftop bars, and live salsa music. Most Cuba holidays begin or end with a few nights in this extraordinary city.

Varadero — Home to 20 kilometres of pristine white sand beach, Varadero is Cuba’s premier beach resort destination. Choose from a range of all-inclusive resorts perfect for relaxing after exploring the island. Varadero pairs perfectly with Havana for a twin-centre holiday.

Trinidad — A beautifully preserved colonial town nestled between the Escambray Mountains and the Caribbean coast. Trinidad offers cobblestone streets, colourful architecture, local music venues, and nearby Playa Ancón beach. It is widely regarded as one of the most photogenic towns in all of Latin America.

Viñales — Set in a stunning valley of limestone mogotes, Viñales is the heart of Cuban tobacco country. Visit working farms, explore caves, go horseback riding through the valley, and experience rural Cuban life at its most authentic.

Cayo Largo — An unspoilt island paradise off Cuba’s southern coast, Cayo Largo offers secluded beaches, crystal-clear waters, and excellent diving. Ideal for travellers seeking a quieter beach escape away from the main tourist areas.

Santiago de Cuba — Cuba’s second city and cultural capital, known for its Afro-Caribbean heritage, the annual Carnival, and its role in Cuban revolutionary history. Santiago offers an entirely different atmosphere from Havana and is well worth including in a multi-centre itinerary.
