The famous Varadero beach has fallen one place among the best beaches in the world, according to the annual ranking of TripAdvisor website. Now, Matanzas Spa ranks 10th on the list of the 25 most relevant spas on the planet over the past year.

According to the aforementioned American travel portal, the labels that dominated Varadero are: activity, entertainment, expensive, and wellness.

TripAdvisor also highlights that this place “has everything you would expect from a perfect beach: golden sand, turquoise blue water and stunning sunsets.”

Likewise, remember that in the main Cuban resort you can do different activities such as swimming, diving or kayaking.

As if that wasn't enough, visitors will have the options of traveling by boat, going fishing, playing a game of beach volleyball, or walking along the beach. TripAdvisor invites you to “just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”

Regarding the topic, the specialized website “The 50 Best Beaches in the World” revealed, at the beginning of this year, its list of the best beaches in the world.

In this other classification, Varadero is ranked 48th. Varadero's decline is due to the decline in tourism indicators provided by Cuba in recent months.

In fact, tourism is off to a bad start in 2024. The number of visitors grew moderately by 4.3% in January compared to the same period the previous year. However, only 55% of the January average for the 2017-2019 period was recorded.
