Cuba
As the largest island in the Caribbean, with over 300 beaches, there has always been plenty of reasons to visit Cuba. However, it’s only since re-establishing relations with America in 2015 that it has rapidly grown in popularity as a tourist destination.
Still largely ‘undiscovered’, its white sand beaches and colonial-style cities aren’t yet heaving with tourists, yet locals are keen to show off their vibrant island to those who do find it. Learn a bit of salsa in Havana’s lively bars, explore hidden caves in the Sierra Maestra mountain range, visit the old quarter of Trinidad to see the best-preserved colonial towns, or the beaches of Varadero or Playa Jibacoa.
TIP: Enjoy a digital detox, as wifi is rare and costly. And be aware of any potential tourist scams before heading there. Why not get a taster, and throw in a bit of a Mexican break too? There are some good prices when you fly here from Cancun.
Latin America has been known to inspire an obsession to those that visit and, no matter how much you may prepare before visiting, Cuba will take you completely by surprise.
