Havana is an adventure at every turn. A memory around every corner. It’s everything you thought it would be and more. Come with us as we pull back the curtain to reveal its’ very soul.

To say that Havana is unique is an understatement of epic proportions. You’ll be mesmerized by the beat of this city. The dramatic vibrant colours, the majestic historic architecture, the contagious energetic music, and dance around every corner. Delicious and creative gastronomy. Many magical places that surprise with their distinct undercurrent.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Havana exudes charm and invites your passion. Take a ride in a vintage car…smoke a cigar, visit bustling plazas, and meet warm and friendly people. And discover the surge of exciting new entrepreneurialism amongst the newest generations. Here, Colonial history and a vibrant future exist as one.

Since 2021, small businesses, from restaurants and cafés to small startups, are playing a pivotal role in changing the Cuban economy. This new wave of entrepreneurship is not only cultivating innovation but also creating employment opportunities and contributing to a more dynamic and prosperous economy for everyday Cubans. While challenges persist, the entrepreneurial spirit in Cuba is undeniably gaining momentum, promising to transform the day-to-day lives of the Cuban people.

The Divine Destination Collection is committed to supporting these local businesses during our upcoming “Havana Revealed” adventure.  Connecting with local people in joyous and meaningful ways with visits to privately/family-owned restaurants, art galleries, businesses and a small sustainable and organic farm.

The Divine Destination Collection’s journey to Havana is set to surprise, delight, and take you to an energizing, warm, and vibrant place.

Experience the contrast of a place where hardship is common and hope is eternal.
