Cuba, which boasts a warm climate and is surrounded by pleasant and crystal-clear waters, has focused on sun and beach programs as key elements in the dynamic and sustained development of the leisure industry.

The Caribbean Island, which has hundreds of kilometers of excellent beaches, many of which are very well preserved, complements its offer with over 500 years of traditions, culture and history.

The coastal resort of Varadero, in western Matanzas province, has a 22-kilometer strip of beaches and is the option par excellence for those who come to Cuba to enjoy its climate and its blue sea.

Varadero beach complements its many natural attractions, including caves and pristine keys, with the cultural wealth of the cities of Matanzas and Cárdenas, as well as the beauty and ecological richness of Ciénaga de Zapata (Zapata Swamp).

Varadero has excellent conditions for diving, open sea fishing, yachting and all kinds of nautical activities.

A broad network of hotels, clubs, marinas and recreational centers operates in Varadero, guaranteeing foreign vacationers the enjoyment of excellent choices for leisure, among which the Maritim Varadero Beach Resort stands out.

Situated on the tip of the Hicacos Peninsula, the five-star hotel has 391 rooms equipped with all the amenities demanded by modern tourism.

The hotel, whose Spanish-colonial architectural style and exquisite decoration gives the establishment a touch of class, also benefits from an excellent location at a 15-minute drive from Juan Gualberto Gómez International Airport.

Gastronomy is a plus among Maritim Varadero Beach Resort's options, including such choices as the Yumurí and Don Alfredo restaurants, or the Varadero smorgasbord, and the Laguna Azul and Beach Club Ranchón Bucanero cafeterias.

Other services are available at La Tinaja Bar and La Oliva nightclub, the latter featuring a varied entertainment program.

The establishment also benefits from the solid experience of the German group Maritim Hotels, which took over the administration of three hotels previously run by the consortium LTI.

In addition to the hotel in Varadero, the German group also runs the 317-room Maritim Panorama in Havana and the 309-room Maritim Costa Verde Beach Resort in eastern Holguín province.

This panorama shows that whoever bets on the Maritim Varadero Beach Resort will enjoy leisure in full harmony with an excellent entertainment team and facilities to practice sports, among other choices.
