Cuba holidays for solos
Prices From £2295
Cuba is amazing! It is at long last entering the 21st century and opening up to international tourism, so now is the time to go, before its unique character changes forever, especially in Havana.
This excellent two-centre holiday is accompanied throughout by a Friendship Travel Host who flies out from Britain to take care of all local arrangements.
The 11-night package (10 nights in October 2019) includes flights into Havana for a four-night stay (3 if travelling in October 2019) in the lively capital. We include a full day guided tour to discover Cuba’s history, culture and its exciting future! We make the most of the evenings, seeking out authentic nightlife and finding our rhythm on the dance-floor!
After exploring Havana we head east to the fantastic resort of Varadero for 7 nights of total relaxation! Make the most of the hotel’s facilities and seaside location, but do try at least one of our optional excursions, whether it’s swimming with dolphins or discovering rural Cuba. Our holiday arrangements at Varadero are on an All-inclusive basis
This holiday is a fabulous way for single travellers to discover this truly exciting emerging destination, safe in the knowledge that the trip is fully escorted by Friendship Travel. Book early, especially if you’d like to celebrate Christmas in Cuba!
Our accommodation partner in Cuba is the reliable H10 Hotels group. In Havana, the jazzy-looking H10 Habana Panorama is our base. This modern hotel has a big outdoor pool, 3 restaurants, 4 bars and a free shuttle to/from Habana Vieja (Havana Old Town) which is about 20 minutes away.
Meal arrangements in Havana include breakfast each morning and one evening meal. Other meals are at local restaurants – still taken as a group, but at your own expense.
In Varadero, we relax at the H10 Ocean Vista Azul, a hotel on a clifftop location. There are sea views and easy access to the sandy beach. The elevated position ensures cooling breezes. There are 6 restaurants (in low season – summer – restaurant may open on alernative nights), 7 bars, activities (included in the package) from water sports to dance lessons, a theatre, beauty and fitness centres, and a second pool. Varadero golf course is next door, with special rates for guests.
The All-inclusive plan here means all meals, drinks by the glass and the majority of the hotel’s services and activities are included in our package.

Cuba is by far the largest of the Caribbean islands, sitting 90 miles south of Florida’s Key West and on a similar latitude as Mexico. The island enjoys a tropical climate all year round, without huge swings in temperature, from around 23C in winter to 27C in summer. The wettest months are in summer, but it’s hardly monsoon weather, and heavy showers soon dry up.
Havana is a port city, protected by a 4km sea wall, the Malecon. Its colourful history results from a melting pot of cultures and it has a unique vibe. One ‘must do’ while in the city is an early evening stroll along the Malecon, and the warren of streets in ‘Habana Vieja’ are now UNESCO World Heritage listed.
Varadero is 150kms east of Havana: it’s a finger-like peninsula fringed with fine sandy beaches that rival any in the Caribbean. It’s a great spot to relax in western-style hotels but also a good base from which to explore the natural environment and authentic communities like Trinidad, Santa Clara and Cienfuegos on optional day trips. See the Excursions tab below for more details.
