Simply expressed, most knowledgeable people refer to Varadero Beach in Cuba as the "most beautiful beach in the world." Why? Because it is! It is 36 kilometers of sand that looks and feels like white powdered sugar. Some of the most beautiful hotels in the world have been built recently by hotel chains like Club Med, Sol Melia and Sandals. Others are currently under construction.

In total there are more than 45 hotels (17,000 hotel rooms) on Varadero Beach which is known as the largest tourist resort in the Caribbean. You can find everything from 5 star luxury hotels to a place where you can pitch your tent (away from the hotels).

We urge all Americans to reserve as early as possible or the possibility of getting left out is real! Last season, most major hotels in both Varadero and Havana were sold out during the prime season. This year, 300,000 more tourists are expected!

Varadero has many optional things to do. For example: There are 3 marinas where one can go fishing for billfish; there is scuba diving where you can get all kinds of plans from 1 dive to 10. You can even take a scuba diving course and get certified for less than $400; you can swim with the dolphins; you can visit the submarine park, an incredible place in a glass bottomed boat, view an underwater submarine, a sunken frigate, Fidels private yacht and even a passenger plane, you can go yachting or rent a cabin cruiser for as little as $750 for a day; you can go sky diving, free fall for 40 seconds and then float down for 10 minutes and land right on the beach in front of your hotel; you can play golf at the newly opened Varadero Golf Club, even have a beautiful Cuban lady as a caddie; you can go bowling, biking, play billiards, rent a moped, ride a horse or go camping.

There are art galleries, open air theaters and cinemas.

The nightlife is incredible with both red hot discos and cabaret's with outstanding floor shows.

There are many other places to visit and you can rent a car, take a bus, go by train or some even hitchhike (it is safe in Cuba).

Varadero is known as the most beautiful beach in the world....because it is!
