Two Centre Holiday To Cuba.

If you have come to read this write up I am assuming that you are interested in organizing your next trip to Cuba. Well that makes me very happy. What I intend to do in this article is to guide you through the best possible combinations of centres in order to make the most out of your experience in Cuba.

There are not many places in the world that can offer what you can find in Cuba. Not only Cuba has one of the best beaches in the world but it also has a fantastic geography. Mountains, rivers, lakes, caves, valleys and of course the best beaches in word make its landscape a very enjoyable one. But what Cuba has that makes it really unique its culture, its history, its architecture and of course the fact that it is the only socialist country in Latin America.

If you are thinking to primarily rest following a hard lengthy period of work and at the same time looking for some interaction with the Cuban way of life then I would propose you to do a twin centre holiday. There are lots of alternatives and I will point out in this article which in my estimation are the most appealing ones.

Havana and Varadero: Perfect combination for those who are not interested in traveling long distances. There are only 157 kms from Havana to Varadero and that can be covered by taxi in less than 2 hours. Both cities have international airports so you can choose either to start your itinerary from. No need to mention in this article what Havana and Varadero have to offer I am sure there are plenty of articles devoted to each of them in the web. Regarding Varadero, lets just say that it is the most famous beach resort in Cuba and its beaches are among the top ten in the world.

Viales and Cayo Cayo Levisa: Both areas are located within Pinar del Rio Province. This suggestion is mainly for those who love to be in direct contact with nature and do not like to stay in huge spoiled all inclusive beach resorts. Pinar del Rio is famous for having the most picturesque landscapes of Cuba. It is also the land for the best tobacco in the world. Cayo Levisa it is a beach location only an hour if not less far from Viales Valley by taxi and to get to almost virgin island you need to get on a boat for about 20 minutes. There are only 42 rooms very basic but with all the facilities that you can expect within your room.

Havana and Jibacoa: This twin centre holiday is ideal for those who like to relax far from that comes with some huge beach resorts. It is very close to Havana. So if you feel you did not have enough of the Capital and its night life or its restaurants you can very easily take a taxi from Breezes Jibacoa Hotel and you will be in Havana in less than 1 hour. Not very expensive a taxi will cost about 30 Cuban convertible pesos (15 Sterling pounds).

You can do as many destinations as you want obviously depending on few factors like duration of your holidays and how long you are willing to travel but a twin centre combination it is always a very relaxing way to get to know Cuba.

Cuba Sun and Sand

Waking up, going over to the window and seeing the unmistakable blue of a tropical sea. There\’s no better therapy, no better way of greeting the day. While on your Cuba Holidays, this is a daily experience, and you can enjoy it not only in a beach hotel but also in one of the more luxurious hotels in the city and even up in a mountain retreat. Here, the sea is a living presence; in those few places where you can\’t see it, you can still smell and sense it.

There is an average of 330 sunny days a year, with few clouds. The main tourist resorts (including the ones on the cays) have international airports, and the excellent hotel infrastructure is complemented with a wide range of extra hotel facilities (car and bus rentals, marinas, scuba-diving centers, shops, beauty parlors, fitness centers, etc.), entertainment during the day and at night, excursions to nearby cities, medical attention, and special family and honeymoon Cuba holiday packages.

The Cuban archipelago, which is 42,854 square miles (110,992 square kilometers) in size, consists of the main island of Cuba-a long and narrow island measuring 744 miles (1200 kilometers) from east to west, the largest island in the Antilles-the Isle of Youth and around 4195 other cays and islets.

The high degree of conservation of its coral formations and beaches attests to its cleanliness. It has a gentle subtropical climate, the product of warm water cooled by The trade winds, so temperatures range between 75.2 and 84.2 F. (24 and 29 C.).

Not disappointed thousands of tourists who make dives here every year, some of them as beginners making their maiden dives in Cuban waters, accompanied by experienced divers whose expertise is attested to by the World Underwater Federation (CMAS), the American-Canadian Underwater Certification (ACUC) for scuba-diving classes and other prestigious international schools.

Coral reefs extend along practically the entire edge of the broad insular shelf (for around 1984 miles, or 3200 kilometers). More than half of these reefs are separated from the main island by large areas of shallow water and groups of cays.

Scientific studies estimate that there are over 500 species of fish; 200 different kinds of sponges (cup, tube and branch); around 60 kinds of coral; and a large sample of mollusks, crustaceans, gorgonians, algae and Common Sea Fans (Gorgonia spp.) in Cuban waters.

Cuba undoubtedly is one of the most stunning tourist destinations in the World. Add the irrefutable fact of a super rich culture and you have the ideal recipe for a memorable holiday.

The World’s Most Unforgettable Hotels

The hotel has evolved throughout the years. Whereas once it was simply a lodging, a place where you could go and get a hot meal and kick off your shoes for a night or two, today, hotels are so much more.

The trend in hotels is towards providing guests with an immersive experience. Hotels have become concepts; no longer is enough to be a stop over. Modern hotels are escapes; they act as little pockets of luxury, of freedom from the normal 9 to five grind.

Everywhere you look there are various themed hotels that have cropped up in all corners of the world. You can find a designer hotel with art themed rooms in practically every major city. There are hotels dedicated to fashion, to music, to being sustainable, to books and to celebrity personalities. And the public loves it.

Of course, you’ve got your standard beachside paradises, fully equipped with peace invoking reflecting pools, shabby-chic villas with mosquito netting romantically slung around the beds and organic chocolate covered coffee beans on the pillows; and you’ve got your upscale, metropolitan affairs, architecturally zeitgeisty structures that double as upstanding lessons on high class and elegance as well as those staid, institutional hotels which never go out of style.

Nevertheless, nowadays people are seeking more. They’re looking for something different, an authentic experience, whether it be a clean, green hotel in the Amazon jungle or a small artsy boutique in Manhattan. There’s no lack of edgy, cool hotels out there.

Here’s a look at just some of the latest and most unique hotels you can find in exotic and not so exotic locals around the world.

The Magic Mountain Hotel, located right in the middle of the beautiful and scenic Huilo Huilo nature reserve in Panguipulli, Chile is indeed a sight to behold. The hotel is one of a kind-it was actually constructed in the shape of a mountain. Guests will marvel at the waterfall which springs from the peak of the ‘mountain’ and flows down the sides. As the hotel makes its home in the midst of a forest, guests can go for hikes, enjoy the natural hot tub made from giant wooden logs, participate in white water rafting and go on customized skiing trips.

The Ice Hotel, in a little town in the north of Sweden called Jukkasakjarvi is a modern marvel. It’s constructed entirely of solid ice and snow. Guests have to don parkas and they can warm up with drinks at the hotel’s unique ice bar.

In the Netherlands, visitors can head over to the Harlingen Lighthouse and stay in this charming tower. While the tower only houses two, and must be booked well in advance, it makes the perfect romantic weekend getaway. Although it doesn’t come cheap, it’s great for couples looking for an escape from the stress of daily life.

In Rome, visitors can stay at the Franklin Feel the Sound Hotel, located just a few steps away from the Vatican in the Prati quarter. This hotel is dedicated to good tunes-each room comes equipped with a state of the art sound system and you can borrow CDs and vinyl records in the lobby.

Damian Papworth enjoys assisting people on their Gold Coast Holiday. As such, for added convenience he offers a search engine to choose Gold Coast hotels Australia.

Hanging out in Bondi Beach

Just a short bus ride or car trip from the SW capital of Sydney, Bondi Beach is a must on your Australian to-do list. Pronounced with a long “i” as in Bonzai, Bondi is the place for beach days of sun and fun.

Dating back to the Sydney’s suburban expansion in the’50s, Bondi Beach’s unique name is derived from the Aboriginal term for “sound of waves crashing on rocks.”

With nearly one kilometer of white sand, Bondi Beach is a great place to get away from the populous Sydney and enjoy South Wales’ beautiful beaches. In their migratory months, schools of dolphins and even whales can be seen off the coast. The rare fairy penguin has even been known to make the occasional appearance.

For visitor orientation, start at the Pavilion Community Center and pick up some helpful information. This town hub also has changing rooms and showers for bathers, several eateries and an amphitheater.

Stroll down the shoreline and work on your suntan or watch the locals show off their bronze physiques. Bathe in the safe waters on the northern end of the beach, or head to the southern side where the more treacherous waves and tides are enjoyed by the world’s surfing community. Any surfer hungry for a taste of good waves should check out this surfing spot. Shark nets are added in the summer months for extra protection and lifeguards patrol the area constantly.

To immerse yourself in local beauty, try one of Bondi’s popular nature walks. From the old Pavilion (ca.’28), hike up to the cliffs of Bronte. You’ll encounter some of the oldest wonders of nature along the way in Hawkesbury’s sandstone belt, which paleontologists date to 225 million years in the past. Or make your way to Waverley Cemetery after stopping at the old bath houses in Bronte.

For a look at Bondi’s bikini culture, don’t miss the vibes on the southern beaches, where topless sunbathers thumb their noses to convention on a daily basis. Bondi hold the title in the Guinness Book of World Records: Largest Swimsuit Issue Photo Shoot in history.

Get into the groove of the wild City to Surf Fun Run which takes place every August. Participants make their way to Bondi Beach from Sydney’s center. Or go fly a kite in the annual Festival of the Winds in September.

Along the waterfront is a wide variety of cafes, restaurants and bars to suit any budget. Have a pint in one of the pubs and see why the locals are known for their friendliness.

Bondi Beach has been a popular location for film and television, such as the lifeguard show Bondi Rescue or the fictional Breakers.

At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Bondi hosted the beach volleyball tournament for all the world to see.

Visitors looking to spend a night or weeks in Bondi Beach will find accommodations in any price range. Backpacker hostels, small upscale hotels and charming bed-and-breakfasts are all options.

Only a thirty minute drive from downtown Sydney, take Oxford street from the capital and follow it as it turns into Enfield Drive and finally Bondi Road. Because parking can be so difficult, locals suggest arriving via public transportation to avoid the hassle. Numerous buses arrive from Sydney everyday.

Enjoy The Best Of Both Worlds In Cala Vinas Hotels

On the South West Coast of Majorca you will find plenty of Cala Vinas hotels, this resort is close to one of the largest and busiest resorts on the island, Magaluf. While Magaluf is busy, noisy and bustling, Cala Vinas is just the opposite, it offers the opportunity to have a relaxing holiday, while great recreational opportunities abound nearby, just walking distance away.

Magaluf is just a short walking distance away from the idyllic sheltered coves of Cala Vinas. It boast calm seas, white sandy beaches and is only a very short distance from the airport. Palma Nova is a little further a-field than Magaluf, but even so is only a short 20 minute drive.

Relaxing in Cala Vinas is particularly suitable for people who want to be away from the noise and bustle during the day. It is ideal for families as the sheltered cove in which it is situated is perfect for children and weak swimmers to bath in. The waters of the cove are also excellent for both scuba diving and snorkeling, because they are so calm and clear.

Holiday season extends from late in April till late in October, where temperatures in the 20’s to 30’s can be enjoyed. But this is just peak season, temperate conditions can be enjoyed for relatively long periods of time. There are water parks with the most amazing flumes, go-karting, all kinds of boating and fishing, crazy golf, normal golf, shopping and many other activities available in nearby Magaluf.

As the night-life of Cala Vinas is very laid back, you will find restaurants with nightly entertainment. But for the more lively types of late night entertainment and partying till dawn, it is best to take the short walk to Magaluf. The Capital city of Majorca – Palm, also offers more sophisticated types of entertainment.

Visiting this part of Mallorca finds you close to the Pirates Dinner Adventure. This is a not to be missed, one of a kind entertainment experience, which has drawn more than 3 million visitors in the few years it has been operating.
