Cuban Houses & Beach Escape at Cayo Santa Maria 4*

Discover Cuba in a different way through a unique tour combining authentic immersion, cultural discoveries, and beach relaxation. From Havana to Trinidad, you will stay in casas particulares, these charming guesthouses run by local families, true gateways to Cuban culture and lifestyle. In Havana, wander through the lively streets of the old town, amidst music, vintage cars, and colonial heritage. In Trinidad, a true UNESCO-listed gem, let yourself be charmed by its cobbled streets, colourful houses, and warm atmosphere, while sharing the daily life of its inhabitants. Finally, end on a high note at Cayo Santa María, on the white sandy beaches bordered by turquoise waters, where you will enjoy an all-inclusive stay at the Meliá Las Dunas hotel.

A balanced journey, between authenticity, encounters, and escape.
