Most holidays in Cuba are centred around the miles of beautiful beaches, but there's much more to do besides sunbathing. Inland, discover stunning tropical scenery and delve into this country's fascinating history. Varadero is Cuba's liveliest resort and is lined with a good mix of budget and luxury beach front hotels. It's close to Havana, meaning you can easily visit the iconic capital with its unique architecture and vintage cars. Elsewhere, Guardalavaca and Playa Pesquero have all-inclusive hotels with in-house entertainment and water sports galore.
Some of Cuba's best kept secrets are its cayos: Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Santa Maria are tiny islands off the mainland. The white sand, impossibly clear seas and relaxed atmosphere make them a paradise for romantic getaways and affordable honeymoons. Add to all this virtually year-round good weather and it's easy to work out why Cuba is one of the Caribbean's best-value destinations.
