Your Cuba love story could be its own romance novel
If you look beyond the sometimes-cheesy cover art (that admittedly we’re all drawn to), romance novels have been the birthplace of some of the greatest love stories ever told. Each page captivates us and pulls us in to where we feel part of the narrative at every pivotal moment, even if it’s in our imagination and the story only exists on the page. Cuba has that same effect but it’s not a dream nor is it a fairytale – it’s reality, as every corner of the biggest island in the Caribbean offers a chance for love and romance, from the meet cute to the happy ending.
The “meet cute”
The meet cute is one of the more romanticized events that can set the tone for how your love story not just begins but plays out. As one of the most popular beach and wedding destinations in Cuba, Varadero and its many all inclusive resorts can also be a home for every chance encounter. Will you meet in line at the resort’s coffee shop, cross paths at the world-famous Varadero Beach, play the same 18 holes at Varadero Golf Club, or perhaps end up at the same wedding, locking eyes for the first time from across the aisle during your friend’s rooftop nuptials? It happens. Varadero is a tropical destination that’s truly unmatched, and can make any meet cute one for the books.
The first of many
The weight of those firsts in every relationship can’t be ignored – the first date, first kiss, first “I love you”. But what about the first love-drunk getaway? While Cuba’s designed to make any moment spectacular, Cayo Santa Maria is undeniably an idyllic destination where first-time vacationing couples can kick things off in a big way. In the Jardines del Rey archipelago, this favourite beach destination offers utmost relaxation on immaculate white-sand shores, or opportunities to connect over exploring the big blue sea kayaking or snorkelling, or embarking on an exciting Jeep safari through Cuba’s lush countryside. The island’s fascinating history can be found in Santa Clara nearby, too, for couples who believe that learning together is the key to growing together.
The confession
Your love story is one that you create, so let’s skip the classic misunderstanding or surprise plot twist (which are rarely positive…) and go straight to the proposal – the ultimate confession of love. No destinations could be as deserving as ones where Cuba’s history is on full display, waiting for you to add your own; Havana and Trinidad are UNESCO World Heritage sites packed with unique spots that'll make your proposal one for the ages. Take Havana's Plaza Vieja with art deco buildings, the iconic Malecón at sunset and the grand Teatro Nacional, or Trinidad's Plaza Mayor, music-filled Casa de la Música or the Valley of the Sugar Mills – these cities breed proposals worthy of The Wed, Anti-Bride and every chic bridal Instagram account we bet you’re already following.
The happy ending
When it comes to the conclusion of a romance novel, the juice is often worth the squeeze. In our case, happy endings are beachside destination weddings with the Caribbean Sea’s aquamarine waters in the background – and Cayo Coco is worthy of your love for a milestone as grand as this. This island’s natural beauty – as you’ve heard us say many times before – has even found its place in stories written by famed creative minds like Ernest Hemingway. But beyond its immaculate shores, and exotic everglades and mangroves where the world’s largest native pink flamingo colonies call home, its all inclusive resort options with fantastic on-site coordinators are shining stars in their own rights. From top-rated all-ages and adults only resorts to budget-friendly spots, any choice is a good choice when you say “I do” to Cayo Coco.
