Cuba Resort Dress Codes: Restaurants, Evenings and What to Pack

Dress codes at Cuba resorts are usually relaxed during the day but may be enforced at specialty restaurants, evening events or certain indoor areas.

Check restaurant rules

Ask whether men need long trousers, collared shirts or closed shoes and whether beachwear, sleeveless tops or flip-flops are restricted.

Pack flexible clothing

For the wider Cuba packing list, start with the essentials below.

• One lightweight evening outfit
• Long trousers or a casual dress
• Collared shirt
• Closed shoes or dress sandals
• Light sweater for air-conditioned spaces

Keep clothing practical

Choose breathable fabrics that are easy to wash and dry. Heavy formalwear is rarely necessary.

Confirm before a reservation

Dress requirements can differ between restaurants at the same hotel. Ask when booking and keep a backup option available.
