Varadero

Historically named for the sandbanks where ships would often run aground, Varadero - translating to 'a place to run aground' - has transformed from a ship anchoring spot into a breathtaking resort area. Its shallow and calm waters once used for repairing vessels now serve as a tranquil escape for beachgoers.

Today, amidst the modern hotels and tourist complexes along Varadero Beach, you can still witness the charming wooden houses that marked the beginnings of this idyllic resort, standing as a nostalgic nod to a bygone era.

Beyond the sun-kissed shores, the Varadero peninsula enchants with its caves, cliffs, and small lakes. The easily accessible group of keys, along with the cultural, historical, and natural allure of nearby cities like Matanzas, Cárdenas, Trinidad, and the Zapata Swamp, elevate Varadero's appeal. Coupled with a high-end hotel network and comprehensive service infrastructure, it's a haven for every traveler.

The crown jewel, Playa Mayor, is an 11.5 km stretch of uninterrupted bliss, which widens and becomes even more pristine towards the east. Here, the beaches become more exclusive, segmented into private sections by natural rock formations, adjoining the luxury hotel properties.

Home to some of the most complete all-inclusive resorts, Varadero is the perfect destination for families, teens, water sports enthusiasts, fishing and diving aficionados, couples, honeymooners, friend groups, and anyone yearning for wholesome fun, safety, and relaxation under the Caribbean sun.

Varadero's accommodations are inclusively designed, with many hotels and facilities providing accessible options for guests with disabilities, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable holiday experience for all travelers.
