Among planes, vintage cars, classic Chevrolets, musical instruments, trophies and photographs of Cuba in the 40s and 50s, last Saturday saw the amazing performance of Gente D’Zona, one of the most famous Cuban reggaeton bands, with numerous fans at home and abroad and record downloads of their music from the Internet. The Habana Café, at the Meliá Cohiba, has become one of the most stylish music venues in Havana, with regular performances from star soloists and groups from the Cuban music scene, such as Pablo Milanés, Buena Fe, Ivette Cepeda and Buena Vista Social Club, in a smart and exclusive setting. On this occasion, it was the ideal place to host Alexander and Randy, members of Gente D’Zona, after their successful concerts in Europe and Miami and the recording of the video for the track Bailando, written by Descemer Bueno, which they made with Enrique Iglesias.

Paraíso Beach, on Cayo Largo del Sur, Cuba, has once again been included among the Travellers’ Choice this year, as the 11^th best beach in the world. This coveted award is based on the criteria issued on TripAdvisor, which recently exceeded 260 million users. This unrivalled jewel of the Caribbean, with its amazingly unspoilt landscape, pure environment, crystal-clear waters and ever-cool, fine white sand, is world renowned for its scenery and sea beds, classed among the most beautiful on the planet.

Thus begins the beautiful legend of the Aboriginal goddess of light, which led to the creation of the Yhi Spas, the signature brand of Meliá Hotels International, dedicated to the wellness of the mind and body. Designed as a place of worship for those seeking relaxation, renewal and revitalisation, these spa and wellness centres are inspired by every one of the different ancient cultures. Available in Cuba in 6 hotels under the Meliá and Paradisus brands, the Yhi Spas enable guests to enjoy a sensorial stay dedicated to purifying the body, balancing the mind and nourishing the soul, where the aromas, colours and flavours, accompanied by soft music and the sensitive touch of expert hands, will make the experience an unforgettable moment of peace and indulgence.
