Cuba is one of the most romantic and authentic destinations to visit as a couple; its diversity means its suited to a variety of unique preferences, whether you’re there to solely laze on the postcard-worthy beaches with a Mojito in hand (no judgement here) or to soak up the rich history, local culture, and rolling countryside the country has to offer.

Why Cuba is the Ultimate 2026 Honeymoon Destination
Timeless Romance and Old-World Charm
If timeless romance and old-world charm isn’t on the agenda, are you even on your honeymoon? And nowhere quite captures the spirit of romance quite like Havana. The capital’s cobbled streets are lined with colonial buildings that rub shoulders with atmospheric cocktail bars and cigar shops, while classic 1950s cars set the scene for a honeymoon straight out of the movies. Stroll hand-in-hand along the Malecón, sample Mojitos in Hemingway’s favourite haunts, or dance beneath twinkling stars to traditional salsa – every moment feels cinematic when you’re in Havana.
Picture-Perfect Beaches
After the trials and tribulations of wedding planning, nothing says “R&R” like powder soft sands and lapping waters. Crowned as having some of the most beautiful beaches in the world – let alone the Caribbean – honeymooners can lay their towel down at over 400 gorgeous stretches – from the snow-white sands of Varadero to the turquoise waters of Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Caco. Whether you’re soaking up the sun, snorkelling over colourful coral reefs or sharing a sunset cocktail from a beachfront bar – Cuba’s captivating coastline delivers romance in its purest form.
Rich Culture & Rhythmic Beats
Beyond the beaches, couples can also explore UNESCO-listed cities like Trinidad and Cienfuegos, filled with colourful facades, art galleries, and live music that lingers on every corner. Each region is as unique as the last. By night, the island comes alive with the influential rhythms of salsa and son – it’s these staple sounds that unite locals (and visitors) with its historic roots and addictive beat. So don’t forget to pack your dancing shoes!
Adventure for Two
If you consider yourselves more thrill-seekers than sun soakers, Cuba serves up plenty of opportunities for action and adventure. Whether you want to don your snorkel and dive amongst the rainbow-coloured marine life at the famous Bay of Pigs, go horseback riding through the beautiful Vinales Valley, roll your very own cigar in a traditional tobacco farm, or take a classic car for a spin in the bustling city – every day brings with it a new discovery.
Why 2026 is the Year to Visit Cuba
With the country’s tourism continuing to grow and more luxury resorts and boutique stays popping up across the island, the sooner you experience Cuba’s unique appeal, the better. From the popular tourist resorts to the hidden gems that reveal the raw and authentic soul of Cuba, there’s so much to uncover every time you visit this captivating island. Its rich history and vibrant culture add another dimension, giving depth and meaning to every experience you have, while the warm and welcoming spirit of the locals await with a smile, full of heart.
So, whether you prefer five-star beachfront bliss or an authentic casa particular stay, Cuba promises a honeymoon that’s as timeless as your love story.
