Foreign direct investment in Cuba is perceived as a source of development for the country. Among the priority sectors, tourism stands out, especially those oriented towards health and wellness. Among the numerous investment opportunities that this Caribbean island offers, projects related to thermal centers stand out as promising options.
The purpose of these projects is to develop Wellness and Health Centers in places with mineral-medicinal waters and high-quality muds, located in natural environments of exceptional beauty and temperate climate. These destinations offer a wide range of health services, focused on prevention, healing, rehabilitation, and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. An outstanding example of these institutions is the Menéndez Thermal Center.
Located in the Martí municipality, Matanzas province, on the north coast of Cuba, 22 km from the municipal seat by paved road, the Menéndez Thermal Center consists of a stretch of mainland and keys, with numerous springs of table waters, thermal, mineral-medicinal, and muds, in a very rudimentary natural state, in limited use with rustic infrastructures.
This enclave houses 33 located wells and 27 sealed, offering a wide variety of waters, considered among the most valuable in Latin America for their diversity and therapeutic properties.
The mineral-medicinal waters of the Menéndez Thermal Center, of sodium chloride type and temperatures ranging from 28 to 40 degrees Celsius, are characterized by being sulfurous, radonic, and of high mineralization, ideal for the treatment of various dermatological, digestive, respiratory, and osteomyoarticular conditions.
In addition to its healing waters, the Menéndez Thermal Center is located just 1 km from the homonymous beach, with ample mangrove vegetation and an extension of 2 km. Its proximity to Varadero positions it as an attractive tourist destination.
In harmony with the biodiversity of the thermal resort, the Menéndez Thermal Center offers the opportunity to combine thermal treatments with ecological activities such as the observation of coastal flora and fauna, hiking, and archaeology, with the proximity to the archaeological site of Cayo Jorajurí, where discoveries of our aboriginal ancestors are still being made.
If you are an investor looking for promising opportunities at the intersection of the health and tourism sectors, you cannot overlook this option. We invite you to join us and be part of this exciting journey towards a future where well-being, nature, and success in foreign investments in the health sector in Cuba intertwine.
