Mambo Club

As a first-class Caribbean destination, the Varadero beach resort, principal sun and sand destination for tourists in Cuba, offers visitors varied evening diversions with the Mambo dance club one of the most irresistible.

Located at the far end of the peninsula adjacent to the Amigo Club Resort, the dance and disco spot is a must if you want to move your body to the contagious beat of Cuban music, especially to the fabulous traditional Cuban sounds of the 40s and 50s.

While dance partners Tona and Daniel teach you the basic steps of these island rhythms (and others played by the jazz orchestra), famous musicians smile down at your from the walls, including images of Antonio Arcano, Arsenio Rodrfguez - a.k.a. The Marvellous Blind Man - and, of course, Rey Damaso Perez Prado, who brought mambo to the summit of popularity.

The band takes a break on Friday nights, when the show heats up with the "Fire Owners", a fire juggling and dance act by the Julien Siblings, a trio of two women and a man, who put on an incredible display of dancing while literally playing with fire.
