Tempting and provocative, bold and courageous, passionate and sultry, the "treasure Island" of Cuba is an aphrodisiac for the senses. A melting pot of African, European and Asian influences Cuba is filled with paradoxes and can only be understood by the heart. Her mysterious and often forbidden nature make her irresistibly attractive. Besides being famed for her rum, her cigars and the salsa,
there is more to Cuba's large soul. Bursting with rich culture, entrancing music, colourful history and immense diversity,
Cuba shares many parallels with her African sister across the Atlantic. It is this intrinsic bond that inspired the founders of Cuba Lounge to bring the true essence of Cuba to South African shores. Launching the first Cuba Lounge at Gateway in Umhlanga in 2007, the overwhelming success of this venue saw a second branch
launched at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium in the wake of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Over the last nine years Cuba Lounge has grown from strength to strength, hosting international acts like Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Fatman Scoop, Jean Sean, Dead Maus to mention a few. Cuba Lounge is now poised to expand nationally beginning with the re-launch of its flagship Gateway venue boasting a stunning new-look and followed by its first venue in Gauteng in early 2016.
