Experience Varadero

• Relax on some of the world’s most pristine white-sand beaches
• Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea
• Enjoy lively cabaret shows with extravagant costumes and live music

Home to pristine shores, swaying palm trees and world-class resorts, Varadero is one of the Caribbean’s most famous beach destinations. The area is home to, arguably, one of the worlds most famous stretches of sand, Varadero Beach, where vacationers can lay down their beach towel and soak up the sun. Golf enthusiasts will love teeing off at Varadero Golf Club, offering untouched greens and spectacular ocean views from around the course. The island’s famous capital city of Havana is just a day trip away, and the historic cities of nearby Trinidad and Santa Clara can be explored on a Sunwing Experiences excursion. After the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea, Varadero comes alive with a host of cabarets, nightclubs and amphitheatres beckoning to be explored – the Cabaret Tropicana is a must for travellers looking to experience the local nightlife.
