Destinations

Strolling through lively markets, uncovering enriched history, or lazing under the rhythm of swaying palms, Haiti's beguiling locations entice with an alluring island twist. Let's explore the prominent draws from the animated capital, Port-au-Prince, to the paradisiac charm of Ile-a-Vache.

Port-au-Prince

Haiti's pulsing heart beams with culture, history, and vibrant energy. Port-au-Prince intrigues with its intellectual roots serving up the National Museum, or Musée du Panthéon National Haitien, grandiose architecture and authentic cuisine in Petion-Ville, and dynamic markets bustling in Iron Market.

Jacmel

Cobblestoned and lined with French colonial buildings, Jacmel adorns the southern coast with its striking aesthetic. Craft lovers will particularly appreciate local Haitian arts showcased in glorious galleries and shops while the nearby Bassin Bleu offers tranquil natural pools between imposing waterfalls.

Cap-Haitien

This northern city reveals Haiti's rich history in its full grandeur. From the regal Sans Souci Palace to the legendary Citadel Laferrière, Cap-Haitien is a palpable testament to the Haitian spirit. Its charisma permeates the captivating eateries, mesmerising beaches, and serene waterfalls.

Ile-a-Vache

This secluded piece of paradise is a faultless destination for those seeking an elusive Caribbean island escape encompassing sandy stretches, emerald waters, and delightful tranquillity.

Labadee

Renowned for its stunning beauty and thrilling adventures, Labadee takes you from ziplining to lounging on paradisiac beaches and exploring coral reefs. This private resort enclave on Haiti's north coast provides an all-encompassing tropical retreat.

Where to Stay

From the oscillating buzz of city neighborhoods to tranquil island idylls, Haiti offers a plethora of accommodation selections, charming locales, and unforgettable experiences for families, couples, or friends.

For a family holiday

Port-au-Prince presents an eclectic blend of educational museums and local markets. Its multitude of restaurants and beachside resorts, ensure comfort for families looking for a balance between edutainment and leisure.

For a couples holiday

Romantic adventures through vibrant history or idyllic beachside moments are effortlessly captured in the Cap-Haitien's locales and the secluded retreats of Ile-a-Vache, perfect for couples seeking solitude and picturesque views.

For a holiday with friends

A trip between friends to Labadee promises both relaxation on sun-kissed beaches and thrilling adventure activities. Port-au-Prince, on the other hand, is ideal for a diverse encounter, exploring cultural spots, tasting the local food, and, of course, lively nightlife.

When to Visit

Ideal vacation time in Haiti falls between November and March, these cooler dry months allowing you to explore the island's prominent attractions comfortably. Beach lovers will find solace in the radiant sun and cool seaside winds.

However, the country's charm extends well into April and May when the Carnival of Flowers in Beaumont and Flag Day celebrations in Arcahaie bring the streets alive with vibrant parades and music. Though the summer can be warm, it offers a quieter retreat with fewer tourists and attractive rates. Choose your preferred season and pack your spirit of adventure for an enthralling journey into Haiti's heart.
