Varadero

The main and most famous seaside resort on the Island

Varadero’s beaches are undoubtedly its most outstanding assets. Miles of soft sand stretch along the coast, providing an idyllic place to bask in the sun, swim in turquoise waters and enjoy a multitude of water sports activities. Whether you’re into scuba diving, windsurfing or simply want to relax on a deckchair with a refreshing cocktail in hand, Varadero has something for everyone.

But there’s more to this destination than its enchanting beaches. Varadero is also brimming with history and culture. History buffs can explore fascinating sites such as the Ambrosio cave, home to pre-Columbian cave paintings, or Josone Park, a lush garden dotted with statues and fountains. For a total immersion in Cuban culture, be sure to visit the Dupont house and the former residence of Al Capone, which bear witness to Varadero’s rich past.

Varadero’s lively nightlife is another facet not to be overlooked. From salsa clubs to lively beach bars, the city’s festive atmosphere is infectious. Dance the night away to the bewitching rhythms of Cuban music or take in an extravagant cabaret show for an unforgettable experience.

The warm hospitality of Varadero’s inhabitants adds an extra touch to its charm. Whether you’re staying in a small family-run bed and breakfast or a luxurious all-inclusive resort, you’ll always feel welcome in Varadero.
