Luxury villas in Cuba
Although famed as the one time playground of the West Indies, Cuba holidays have far more to offer than our stereotypical images of beautiful beaches, cigars and the writings of Hemingway and Greene. For example the Sierra Maestra, Caribbean coast and Zapata wetlands play host to wildlife as diverse as the bee hummingbird, the pygmy frog and the whale shark. Culturally, Cuba is a true melting pot, where the faded grandeur of colonial churches fuse interestingly with stark revolutionary plazas, while whisperings of salsa emerge from bars and mingle with Castro's political campaigns.
Despite its difficulties, anyone prepared to explore Cuba will be fully rewarded for their efforts. It is without doubt a beautiful, varied destination that will thrill and excite even the most experienced traveller. As Christopher Columbus wrote in his logbook after landing on Cuba in 1492, "Never have I seen a more beautiful country or friendlier people."
