Reasons To
Visit Cuba

  • Beaches

    It’s surprisingly easy to forget Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and has by far the most beaches. The powder white sand and blue waters of a Cuban beach on a sunny day feels like walking through a postcard.

  • Cigars

    The Cuban cigar is one of the countries most famous exports. They are renowned for their flavour and quality as well as the precision and skill which goes into rolling that perfect Cohiba. Visiting a cigar factory is a classic Cuban experience and taking in the plantations in the beautiful countryside around Vinales is a real highlight.

  • Countryside

    If you want to see the real Cuba, head out of the bustling towns and into the surrounding countryside. There are huge sugar cane plantations and cattle ranches, towering royal palms, impressive mountain ranges covered in thick tropical vegetation and rich, fertile fields still ploughed by oxen. You'll also see local Cubans selling their produce or going about the serious business of playing dominoes with the ever-present bottle of rum!

  • History

    Cuba has a truly fascinating past. Reading about Spanish colonialism, revolution, dictatorships and more revolution unveils the country’s story and how it fits into the modern world today in its own unique way. Taking the time to learn about its past and then talking about it with the locals when you arrive is an extremely rewarding experience.

    History

  • Music

    The soul of Cuba is in its music and dance. Any visitor will find the vibrant rhythms of Cuban music providing a permanent background beat to their travels. ‘Son’ is perhaps the country’s most well known music and is a passionate and sultry mix of Spanish guitar and African drum, made famous by Ry Cooder and the Buena Vista Social Club.

Florida Hotel

Havana

The Hotel Florida is a fine example of Havana's numerous charming colonial hotels. As with many of its sister properties the hotel is part of a long list of 19th century buildings which have been carefully restored in the beautifully resurrected old part of the city, Havana Vieja.

The Florida is located on a busy corner of Calle Obispo, one of Havana's most famous streets and is just a few metres from the serene Plaza de Armas. The impressive lobby and elegant colonial architecture are a legacy of its past as a residence of renowned families and wealthy businessmen which made it one of Havana's many famous hotels.

The simple rooms are not what you would expect when walking into the beautiful lobby; however they are clean, comfortable and have en suite bathrooms and air-conditioning.

All profits of the hotel are reinvested in the continued restoration of the city's historical centre.
