Travel is not only about reaching a destination—it is about longing, memory, and the promise of return. For Canadian travellers, Cuba has always been more than a holiday spot; it has been a second home, a place where warmth, rhythm, and serenity intertwine. While operations from Canada are on a temporary pause until May 1, Iberostar Cuba continues to keep its doors open, nurturing the bond that has united generations of travellers with this island of dreams.

Varadero: Rediscovering Serenity by the Sea

Varadero is not just a beach—it is a symbol of Cuba’s timeless beauty. Its sands remain pristine, its waters crystal-clear and free of sargassum, inviting travellers to slow down and rediscover themselves. Here, Iberostar Cuba maintains three operational hotels—Iberostar Cuba Origin Taínos, Iberostar Cuba Origin Laguna Azul and Iberostar Cuba Selection Varadero—each offering a haven where the horizon meets the heart.

• Iberostar Selection Varadero: One of the hotels with the highest service standards on Varadero’s Blue Beach. Ideal for families, now featuring Star Prestige, an exclusive area that includes personalized check-in, late check-out, private Mediterranean restaurant, unlimited reservations at à la carte restaurants, and spa discounts
   
• Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Your passport to the bluest. With 814 rooms, it stands as a flagship within the Iberostar Cuba portfolio and the first hotel under the new lease management model. Perfect for family vacations and getaways with friends, it also offers an exclusive Relax Zone for adults
   
• Iberostar Origin Taínos: The best value for money in Varadero, with a staff that makes guests feel at home and privileged access to the finest stretch of beach

Havana: Where Energy Meets History

Beyond the shoreline, Havana pulses with life. Its streets echo with music, its walls whisper stories of history, and its plazas invite discovery. While many Canadian travellers have traditionally chosen Cuba’s beaches, a younger, adventurous spirit is now drawn to the city’s unique charm. 

Iberostar Cuba welcomes this new generation with four operational hotels—Iberostar Cuba Grand Packard, Iberostar Cuba Selection Parque Central, Iberostar Cuba Marqués de la Torre, and Iberostar Cuba Selection La Habana—each a gateway to culture, architecture, and unforgettable urban experiences.

• Iberostar Grand Packard: A synthesis of respect for tradition and a vocation for modernity, offering a superior lodging experience
   
• Iberostar Selection Parque Central: Warm and welcoming, renowned for its excellence in service
   
• Iberostar Marqués de la Torre: Once the modern tower of Selection Parque Central, now an independent hotel designed for the bohemian spirit, eager to feel the rhythms of an authentic Havana suite
   
• Iberostar Selection La Habana: A new highlight for the Spanish market, an expression of the welcoming spirit of a diverse city. With its 42 floors rising 155 meters high on the iconic 23rd Street, it offers a unique experience that matches the city’s grandeur

Back to Cuba, because the warmth of its people is the light that never goes out.

Journeys may pause, but dreams endure. Iberostar Cuba stands ready to embrace Canadian travellers once more, offering not only beaches and cities, but a sense of belonging. When skies reopen, Cuba will be waiting—not just as a destination, but as a second home.
