Paradisus Varadero Resort & Spa in Varadero, The Cayos, Cuba

Paradisus Varadero Resort & Spa details

Paradisus Varadero Resort & Spa is a luxurious beachfront hotel with plenty of first class facilities.

This hotel is in a prime spot on one of Cuba’s most beautiful beaches. Expect a long, white stretch dressed with sunbeds, hammocks and thatched cabanas – perfect lose-track-of-time territory.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this place. It also has its own water gardens filled with carp, as well as 13 acres of tropical gardens.

On the pool front there are two to choose from. The main one is more of a lake than a swimming pool - half the size of a football pitch and styled to the nines with teak loungers and muslin-draped daybeds. It’s also really quiet - there’s a separate pool for sports and activities.

Looks-wise, the hotel is all about tropical simplicity. The lobby is open-sided, marble floored and dressed with white muslin. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are spacious junior suites in two-storey candy-coloured villas.

It’s a style that’s carried through to the main restaurant, where buffet dinners are served under a vast vaulted ceiling. Then there are the themed eateries to think about. The dining room combines British Victoriana with tropical brights, and the Italian has a traditional trattoria feel to it.
