Havana itself isn't well known for its beaches, especially as Varadero is so near by. There is a very informal gay beach at Santa Maria, about mid-way between Havana and Varadero.
Nightlife
There is gay nightlife but it can be hard to find.
Best For
Those looking for more of an urban sun holiday with the emphasis on history and culture.
Tips
>
To make the most of your visit, try to connect with local gay men. Most are happy to point you gay side of Havana. Try checking out "the Corner".
>
Take a day to visit Vinales, the area south of Havana, well know for its arts and culture.
Recommended Hotels & Resorts
>
NH Parque Central, Mercure Sevilla and Ambos Mundos: All are smaller, mid-range hotels in or close to Old Havana and well located for exploring the city.
>
Hotel Nacional: Perhaps Havana's most famous hotel. Faded 5 star glory that a bit worn around the edges.
