tailormade cuba holidays

Unique culture to vintage ambiance to soft-sand beaches. It’s back-to-basics but in a beautifully charming way on Cuba holidays.

Steeped in ultra-rich history, crumbling architecture and as a former Spanish colony, Cuba offers a holiday experience unlike any other Caribbean Island. Cuba pulses with a distinctive character, from its rhythmic Afro-Cuban beats to the real sense of pride that its locals carry. It’s the majestic Sierra Maestra mountains rising sky-high in the east to postcard-worthy beaches in the west. Varadero, a world-famous beach where the turquoise waters kiss crisp-white sands should be on your radar to visit.

At the heart of it all is atmospheric Havana where a time capsule of Cuban life is waiting to be unearthed and where time seems to stand still. Expect decaying, yet colourful facades, vintage cars cruising the streets and a lively atmosphere that captures the soul of Cuba.

Keep an open mind and explore this enthralling island, your way. DW Escapes can curate your own unique itinerary for a holiday like never before.

CULTURE OOZING HAVANA

The culture-centred capital of Cuba, Havana is a city of contrasts where the old meets the new in the most enchanting ways. Start in Old Havana where cobbled streets wind through centuries-old plazas, surrounded by beautifully restored colonial buildings. Here, it’s all about cigars, daiquiris, mojitos and of course, rum. Away from the historic core, you will find Vedado, where modern architecture mingles with vibrant nightlife. If you love the seaside, stroll along Havana’s famous promenade – Malecón. For something truly unique, you should dine in paladars, privately owned restaurants often set in atmospheric homes. Indulge in a fusion of Spanish, African and Caribbean flavours.

ADVENTURE IN CUBA

Rich colonial history and unique culture may steal the show in Cuba, but the island is also up for an adventure. From hiking through the lush trails of the Sierra Maestra mountains where you can visit Fidel Castro’s revolutionary hideout to a day at the UNESCO-listed Viñales Valley where you’ll find traditional tobacco farms and incredible landscapes. Looking to snorkel and scuba dive? Dive into the clear-as-glass waters around the Bay of Pigs – one of the best spots in the Caribbean. For that more off-the-beaten-path adventure, it is worth heading to the Zapata Peninsula to spot exotic wildlife in Cuba’s largest wetland. Teeming with on-land and underwater activities, there is truly something for everyone.
