There’s a special combination here: on the one hand, you have the feeling of being somewhere still undiscovered — but you also enjoy the sophistication and diversity of a well-developed travel destination. more
Cuba’s complicated and colourful history is enough to warrant a visit to the island. However, Cuba is just as visually stunning as it is culturally significant. Head to Havana where the capital seems to be frozen in an old era and get your fill of mojitos in the bumping nightclubs. Book a historical tour and learn about Che Gueverra and visit Ernest Hemingway’s old digs. Or how about lounging the day away on white sands just east of the city in Cojimar. Either way, Cuba will become a big check off the bucket list for 2021.
Book a stay in Havana at Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana in the heart of Old Havana.
Rum and sea turtles are the name of the game on this pristine Caribbean paradise. Barbados is known for its character-heavy rums like Mount Gay XO and Plantation Barbados 5. Even better, however, are the island’s sea turtles. Barbados is home to a dense population of Hawksbill and Leatherback turtles making it a prime spot for animal lovers. If you can believe it, the allure of Barbados goes even further and is loaded with natural beauty such as the famous limestone caverns and Carlisle Bay.

St. Kitts has the type of Caribbean landscape that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Lush rolling volcanic hills clash with the aqua blue waters and hold lots of secrets like hidden coves and forgotten sugar plantations. Go all out and spend the day hiking Mount Liamuiga, the island’s mighty stratovolcano or brush up on British colonial history at the Brimstone Hill Fortress. Whatever you do, be sure to save a whole day just for lounging on the pristine Banana Bay.
