Located on the Hicacos Peninsula in the province of Matanzas, this Cuban resort is one of the most important tourist hubs in the Caribbean. Its history as a vacation destination dates back to the 1930s, when American magnate Irénée du Pont Nemours established his residence in the area, marking the beginning of its exclusivity.

Its strategic location makes for fascinating excursions.

This resort offers a wide range of hotels, mostly all-inclusive, ensuring a worry-free experience. The quality of its sand and the gentle slope of its seabed make it an ideal destination for both families and couples.

Explore its natural attractions, such as fascinating caves and an easily accessible system of pristine cays. For adventure lovers, the area offers first-class facilities for:

• Nature: Explore prehistoric caves and the pristine cays of the Hicacos Peninsula.

In Varadero, your only dilemma is choosing between a siesta under a palm tree or a swim in its crystal-clear waters. Let yourself be pampered.

Havana, the capital of Cuba, is much more than just a tourist destination: it’s an experience that awakens all the senses. Designated a City of Wonder in 2005, its historic center, Old Havana, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Strolling through its cobblestone streets is like traveling back in time, where colonial architecture, classic cars from the 1950s, and a vibrant energy that only this city can offer coexist in perfect harmony.

The heart of the city beats in its four main squares: Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza de San Francisco de Asís, and Plaza Vieja. Each retains its unique character, surrounded by palaces, churches, and buildings that tell centuries of history. Havana Cathedral, a jewel of Cuban Baroque, and the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, the oldest colonial fortress in the Americas, are must-see stops. Getting lost in the cobblestone streets of Old Havana is like discovering an unparalleled open-air museum.

No visit to Havana is complete without a stroll along its famous Malecón. This iconic 8-kilometer-long boardwalk is the ultimate gathering spot for Havana locals. During the day, the sea washes its walls with foam; at sunset, it becomes the perfect setting for strolling, listening to music, and feeling the Caribbean breeze. It is a symbol of the city’s identity and a space where joy and melancholy blend in a unique way.

Havana pulsates to the rhythm of Cuban son, salsa, and bolero. At iconic spots like the Casa de la Música, the night comes alive with live performances. For history buffs, the National Capitol and the Gran Teatro de La Habana are must-see attractions.

Off the northern coast of Cuba, opposite the province of Ciego de Ávila, lie Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo, two islands that form part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago. Connected to the mainland by a spectacular 27-kilometer causeway that crosses the turquoise sea, these keys are the ideal destination for those seeking pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a virtually untouched natural environment. 

These keys owe their fame to their beaches of fine white sand, considered among the most beautiful in the Caribbean. On Cayo Coco, Flamenco Beach is the most iconic, with shallow waters and an unmistakable turquoise hue. On Cayo Guillermo, Pilar Beach captivates with its wild beauty and sand dunes, named in honor of Ernest Hemingway’s boat. 

Unlike other overcrowded destinations, there is a strong commitment here to environmental conservation. Much of the territory is part of protected areas and wetlands of international importance. They are especially famous for being home to more than 170 bird species, notably the greater flamingo, whose colonies can be observed in natural lagoons such as Laguna La Redonda.

Diving and snorkeling are particularly rewarding thanks to its largely unexplored coral reefs, where tropical fish, rays, and sea turtles abound. You can also go on catamaran excursions, kayaking, and sport fishing. 

Located in the Canarreos Archipelago, south of Matanzas Province, lies Cayo Largo del Sur, a destination that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Unlike other Cuban tourist hotspots, this cayo has managed to preserve its untamed essence, offering travelers pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a leisurely pace of life. 

Cayo Largo is part of a protected natural area that is home to extraordinary biodiversity, especially in its marine environment. Its coral reefs, some of the best-preserved in Cuba, are home to a wide variety of tropical ish, sea turtles, and colorful coral formations. In addition, the cayo has a significant colony of sea turtles that nest on its beaches, making it a prime spot for observing these fascinating reptiles in their natural habitat.

Cayo Largo’s fame stems from its spectacular beaches, considered among the most beautiful in the Caribbean. Playa Sirena is the most iconic and popular, with several kilometers of fine white sand and turquoise waters that invite you to swim and relax. Just a few minutes away is Playa Paraíso, a smaller, more intimate beach surrounded by native vegetation, offering a quieter and more romantic atmosphere.
