Every traveller has their own vibe when it comes to travelling.

Luckily, the world is a vast playground that can cater to anything you feel like doing. Keeping the different types of travellers in mind, we’re here to tell you exactly where you should go for your next holiday destination.

Picture this- light blue waters, white sand beaches, palm trees and a piña colada. If that isn’t the recipe for a perfect holiday, I don’t know what is! Cuba is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world – our favourite is Playa Los Flamencos. Covering over 22 km of coastline, this beach offers you beautiful views and more! In between lounging on the beach, we recommend you go for a snorkel to see the country’s famous starfish!

Budget Conscious
