 Closing date: 22nd July
Times are a-changing on this utterly unique isle, but it still offers up an intoxicating mix of palm-fringed coastline, artfully ramshackle buildings, leafy tobacco plantations, hilly hinterlands and buzzy cafés serving up rum cocktails and sultry salsa in equal measures.
The welcome is always warm – whether you’re planning an intrepid cycle trip from east to west, a horse-ride around the Viñales Valley, or a cultural amble around colonial gems Trinidad, Santiago and Havana, the hospitality is overwhelming. Cubans will be eager to talk to you over a strong, dark coffee and might even invite you to a knees-up at their local bar. Be warned: the Latino spirit is highly infectious.
Must-see city: Havana

There’s nowhere quite like Havana: a crumbling, pulsating, electrifying Caribbean capital that sways to its own beat. A stay here is a must for any visitor – make time to stroll the waterfront Corniche, take a tour in a beat-up 1950s Chevy, shop for Che memorabilia from the street stalls and wander between the fine old colonial buildings.
Island idyll: Cayo Ensenachos

The Cayerías del Norte is a speckle of white-sand, sun-kissed atolls off Cuba’s central north coast – the perfect beach add-on to a Havana stay. Much of the area is designated as nature reserves – essential to protect this picture-perfect slice of the Caribbean, home to nearly 250 types of flora plus incredible marine life.
But stay at a hotel here and you’ll get a privileged glimpse of this paradise. The luxurious, 5-star Royal Hideaway Ensenachos resort is ideal, offering a combination of chic rooms, personalised service, gourmet food and exclusive access to two of Cuba’s best beaches – the long, powdery strands of Ensenachos and Mégano.
Laze on the lovely sand or get out and explore: snorkel and dive expeditions reveal an underwater wonderland of rays, crabs, corals and sharks, while a boat trip at sunset, rum cocktail in hand, is the perfect way to end the day.
