Varadero is the biggest and most popular of Cuba’s beach resorts, and is also considered one of the world’s most beautiful.


The turquoise waters are calm and the beaches are powdery white sand. The seaside city offers a number of museums, cabarets, galleries, markets, and rum and cigar shops. There is an exciting live music scene and a number of bars and quaint cafés. The Varahicacos Ecological Reserve is nearby and offers several hiking trails, plus a chance to explore flora and fauna, caves, and primitive wall paintings. Golfers can enjoy one of the country’s two courses here, and there are dozens of water sports activities and excursions available. Varadero
