Fresh, energetic beach vibes are offered up in healthy doses in Varadero, where Cuba's tourist friendly reputation is solidified amid azure waters and the crisp sails of catamarans. Soft sand beaches and tall swaying palms collide with a host of resorts that truly know their craft, bringing visitors an unforgettable vacation experience. At Iberostar Laguna Azul you'll find thoughtful amenities and a host of activities gracing one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

Varadero rests on an arm of Cuba that juts out into the Gulf of Mexico, stretching towards Florida and the Bahamas. This corner of the world has perfected beachfront relaxation, and at Iberostar Laguna Azul there is an impressive list of waterfront activities available. Kayaks and pedal boats are available for solo missions across the great gulf, and windsurfing lessons kick up the adventure for those with a thrill-seeking streak. There are also introductory scuba diving lessons available in one of the resort’s six pools, or a warm inviting stretch of sand steps from your accommodations.

Rooms at Iberostar come with a full bathroom, air conditioning and a separate living area, as well as a mini-bar to keep you refreshed. The resort also has nine bars sprinkled throughout the grounds (in the theatre, disco, pool, lobby and beach) and five restaurants offering up buffet and a la carte options. There are Italian and Japanese options on site, as well as a restaurant serving up the Creole flavours inspired by the Cajun kitchens of nearby New Orleans.

For other activities the resort offers a host of sports including beach volleyball, tennis, water polo and fitness classes, and there is a spa available for an additional cost. The resort also offers nightly entertainment like a stage show and an on-site disco, or you can head into Varadero to catch a dolphin show or a ride to nearby Cayo Blanco.
