When to Go

Cuba enjoys a hot tropical climate, but the dry season of November to May is the best time to take your Havana, Cuba honeymoon. During these months, couples will be able to enjoy cooler days and evenings. May through October is the wet season, and though the rain is torrential, it is usually short in duration. December through March, July and August are peak tourist seasons, which means planning a Cuba honeymoon on a budget may be difficult.
