For most travellers in the UK, when considering a luxury destination, we often thing of somewhere further East such as Indonesia or the Maldives, but what about Cuba? I know in the past that Cuba has had a bad image, particularly 10 - 20 years ago, but it has improved vastly over the past few years to become one of the most popular tourist destinations for UK travellers.

Flights from the UK to Cuba are not as expensive as its Asian counterparts which is also proving to be a huge selling point, especially in the current financial climate. Cuban Holidays are always extremely luxury, mainly due to the climate the the countries landscapes but the big draw is the hotels. The hotels in Cuba are absolutely amazing and all appear to be perfectly located on and around the countries extremely luxurious sandy beaches.

Cuba is also a great base to start your trip if you’re looking to explore other islands or south America itself. Many tourists fly into Havana, spend a few days there and then island hop elsewhere.

I can assure you that Cuba will be one of top holiday destinations for UK travellers in 2009.
