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.

    Beaches
  • 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!

    Countryside
  • 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.

Our Rating: First Class

Paradisus Princess del Mar

Varadero

The Princess del Mar is one of the most luxurious resorts in Cuba located towards the tip of the Peninsula de Hicacos, set well away from the more built up parts of Varadero.

It benefits from foreign investment and management which ensures professional service, good food and a high standard of accommodation.

All the rooms are either smart studio style junior suites or spacious one bedroom suites with a balcony or terrace, sea views and excellent bathrooms.

It operates on an all inclusive basis and for what it lacks in character it certainly makes up for in extensive facilities, a superb location and one of the best beaches in Cuba.

Service is friendly and welcoming and numerous excursions and activities can be arranged during your stay. This resort does not allow any children or teenagers less than 19 years of age to stay.

The Princess del Mar also has an exclusive concierge area with 24 spacious royal suites, all with sea views.
