What is Paradise Under The Stars?
Step back in time into what was called ‘the most beautiful nightclub in the world’ and its glittering golden age for a night of music, delicious food and dance. Your visit coincides with the opening night of the brand new revue ‘Corazón De Cuba’, a mesmerising saga that explores the deepest essence of the Cuban spirit.

Step into the heart of Cuban culture
At the heart of this transformative experience are the authentic voices of Cuba itself. Artists Luanda Pau, Yelfris Valdés, and Maikel Mota have poured their souls into crafting a show that captures their homeland’s essence. As the Tropicana Orchestra strikes up, their music weaves through the air – rumba giving way to cha cha cha, flowing into the ancestral rhythms of changüí. The UK’s finest Afro-Cuban performers bring this heritage to life in a spectacular celebration of movement and melody.
Your evening unfolds like a dream, with each moment more enchanting than the last. The fabled orchestra plays on, every note an invitation to lose yourself in the rhythm. This isn’t merely entertainment – it’s a portal to the very soul of Cuban culture, with you at its beating heart.
Enjoy a Cuban feast
Dining tickets come with a special three-course banqueting menu of Cuban dishes straight from the pages of ’50s Havana’s foremost dining room, reimagined by The Lost Estate’s head chef, Ash Clarke. Months of research in the making, its reminiscent of the great establishments of 1950s Havana – Sans Souci, El Palacio, and even the Tropicana Club itself.
The menu includes beef shin served ‘ropa vieja’ style with arroz blanca, yuca and frijoles negros, red snapper escabeche, smoked pork asado, coconut, papaya, and even chocolate cigars. This is served alongside a selection of fine Cuban cocktails and frozen rum daiquiris, drawn from the pages of 1950s cocktail manuals and as served in the original Tropicana club.
