Popular with families due to its expansive soft sands, clear waters, shallow depths and fantastic all inclusive accommodation, Varadero is also a haven for divers. Over 28 spectacular dive sites are accessible from the beach and a stunning array of underwater flora and fauna can be discovered.

Set along a dramatic coastline with a beautiful natural harbour flanked by ports, this designated UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts stunning colonial architecture, vibrant culture, beautiful theatres and an incredible music scene. Havana was once a port plagued by pirates and the fortresses put in place to keep it safe are still in place today and are well worth a visit. The classic American cars that dot the streets and the eclectic mix of architecture ranging from colonial to classical to modernist are a throwback to the grandeur and glamour of Havana in the 1950s.
