Salon VIP Paraiso
★3.4(9 reviews)HAV
Havana's arrivals VIP service — met at the plane and walked through immigration.
Salon VIP Paraiso is Havana's arrivals VIP service, attached to Terminal 3 and located landside, outside security. Unlike the airside alliance and pay-in lounges, it's primarily for arriving passengers who have booked the VIP Arrival package in advance. The service works end to end: you're met at the aircraft on landing, escorted through immigration, and then given access to the lounge where you can enjoy a complimentary drink and a snack while your bags are retrieved on your behalf. It's priced at around 45 euros and is booked ahead through specialised travel agencies rather than paid for at the door. For travellers arriving in Havana after a long-haul flight — especially first-time visitors who want to skip the immigration queue and regroup before heading into the city — it offers a noticeably smoother landing. It is not, however, a departure lounge: if you're flying out of HAV, one of the airside Terminal 3 lounges is what you want instead.
Crowding · quiet
This is an arrivals welcome service, not a work lounge — you're typically here briefly while your bags are retrieved before heading into the city. There's no meaningful provision for working, so treat it purely as a smoother way to land rather than a place to get anything done.
As an arrivals service, the food and drink is a complimentary welcome rather than a full meal: a drink and a snack to enjoy while your bags are brought to you. Soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor are included, so you can toast a smooth landing before heading into Havana.
Dietary: Vegetarian snack options
Part of Terminal 3 but landside, outside security. As part of the VIP Arrival service you're met at the aircraft and escorted to the lounge, so you don't navigate to it yourself.
