Six properties managed by Meliá Hotels International in Cuba are among the contenders for the World Travel Awards, prestigious international honors celebrating their 32nd edition this year.
For the 2025 World Travel Awards, Meliá Cohiba and Meliá Cayo Coco —both five-star establishments—are nominated as Cuba’s Leading Hotel. Meliá Cohiba celebrated its 30th anniversary on February 28th of this year. It stands out for its prime location on Havana’s Malecón and its facilities, making it the perfect choice for business travelers, event attendees, and lovers of fine dining. Meanwhile, Meliá Cayo Coco is an adults-only All-Inclusive resort located in the northern cays of Ciego de Ávila, which recently underwent significant renovations. It is a favorite among travelers for its offerings tailored to weddings, romantic getaways, and honeymoons.
Additionally, in the category of Cuba’s Leading Hotel Suite, the Master Suite The Level at Meliá Cohiba stands out. This suite combines exquisite design, unparalleled ocean views, and personalized service to provide guests with a unique experience.
Nominated for the title of Cuba’s Leading Resort are two gems of Caribbean luxury: Paradisus Varadero and Paradisus Princesa del Mar, both nestled alongside the crystal-clear waters of one of Cuba’s most iconic beaches. These resorts offer exclusive accommodations—ranging from comfortable Junior Suites to spacious Suites—alongside high-end gastronomic options, YHI Spa programs, and a calendar of activities designed to promote well-being and personal growth. Joining them are Paradisus Río de Oro—an intimate, adults-only ecoresort, perfect for relaxation on the beautiful Esmeralda Beach in Holguín province—and Meliá Las Dunas, a welcoming and dynamic hotel that caters to families, couples, and groups of friends looking to enjoy unforgettable vacations amidst the natural beauty of Cayo Santa María.
The World Travel Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars of Tourism,” recognize the best destinations and establishments worldwide based on evaluations from experts, travelers, and industry professionals.
