Located just a two-hour drive from Havana, Varadero offers a striking contrast to the bustling and architecturally diverse capital. With its stunning beach, easily accessible from Havana, Varadero stands out among other Cuban beach resorts that often require additional flights. The stretch of sandy beach and pale turquoise waters evoke images reminiscent of the idyllic Caribbean scenes seen in travel magazines.
The primary attraction in Varadero is, undoubtedly, the beach itself. With very little else to distract visitors, it’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the Cuban sun. The cool and refreshing salty waters provide a welcome respite from the heat. And with the sea so close, there are plenty of aquatic activities to enjoy, such as kite surfing, paddleboarding, sailing, and glass-bottom boat tours to nearby islands.
