Cuba is a vibrant and captivating choice for Caribbean holidays, offering couples a unique mix of history, culture, and tropical beauty. From its charming colonial cities and iconic classic cars to its lively music and warm hospitality, Cuba sets the scene for a romantic getaway full of character and old-world charm. 

With a growing selection of All Inclusive resorts, it’s a fantastic alternative to more traditional Mexico holidays—perfect for those looking to explore somewhere with a little more soul and story.

Popular places for travellers include Havana, the island’s capital, where you can stroll hand-in-hand through colorful streets, visit historic plazas, and enjoy live salsa music in cozy bars. Varadero is famous for its long stretches of pristine white-sand beaches and all-inclusive resorts, perfect for couples wanting a relaxing beach vacation. 

For a quieter, more nature-focused escape, the Viñales Valley offers stunning landscapes of tobacco fields, limestone hills, and peaceful rural scenery. 

Travellers can enjoy a variety of memorable experiences together. Taking a vintage car tour through Havana’s historic districts, dancing the night away to live Cuban music, or savouring a rooftop cocktail with panoramic city views are just a few romantic options. 

Nature lovers might explore the caves and hiking trails of Viñales or snorkel in the clear waters around the Bay of Pigs. 

Beach lovers can unwind on Varadero’s shores, swim in the warm sea, or take a boat trip to nearby islands like Cayo Largo.  

Cuban culture is rich and lively, with music, dance, and art deeply woven into everyday life. Travellers can experience authentic Cuban cuisine, from fresh seafood to classic dishes like Ropa Vieja, paired with world-famous Cuban rum and mojitos. Visiting art galleries, watching a traditional dance performance, or simply relaxing at a café with live music adds a special touch to any romantic getaway. 

Cuba has year-round sunshine, however, the best time to visit Cuba is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is generally warm, sunny, and comfortable, with temperatures ranging between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius (75 to 86°F) in the shade. This season is perfect for enjoying Cuba’s beaches, historic sites, and outdoor activities.

Since this period is the busiest time of year, popular destinations and resorts tend to be more crowded, and prices may be higher. Travelers seeking a quieter experience and better rates can consider visiting during the shoulder months of May and October, which still offer pleasant weather. The summer months are hotter and more humid but are also filled with vibrant local festivals and cultural events.

Accommodations in Cuba range from charming boutique hotels in Old Havana to beachfront all-inclusive resorts in Varadero, and smaller casas Particulares (private guesthouses) that offer a more local and intimate experience.

For travellers seeking privacy and romance, there are also elegant colonial-style villas and adults-only resorts with ocean views and personalized service.

While many resorts provide a range of dining options on-site, eating out in Cuba offers travellers the chance to discover the island’s unique and evolving culinary scene. From traditional paladar's (privately owned restaurants) serving home-style Cuban meals to rooftop spots in Havana with live music and views of the city, dining out is both a cultural and romantic experience. 

Travellers can enjoy dishes like Ropa Vieja, fresh lobster, Tostones, and tropical fruit, often paired with Cuban cocktails like mojitos or daiquiris.

Many accommodations, especially in resort areas like Varadero or Cayo Santa María, offer honeymoon packages that include special extras such as welcome drinks, couples massages, private dinners, and room upgrades—perfect for adding a little extra romance to your stay.
