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.

Los Jazmines Hotel

Vinales

Los Jasmines is the most established hotel in Vinales and also the most eye-catching. The grand pink mansion is perched on the edge of the valley offering magnificent views, especially first thing in the morning.

It is a popular stopping off point for day trippers admiring the view and one of the better hotels available in the valley, with lots of charm and character. It was originally built in the 60s before the government took over after the revolution and the original owner can still be seen wandering around and ensuring everything runs smoothly despite losing his investment.

The rooms are small, a little dark and dated but perfectly comfortable, offer good views and all have a balcony or terrace and en-suite bathrooms. One of the hotels best features is the excellent pool which has wonderful views.

It does have a restaurant but on average food reviews are unfortunately pretty poor.
