Venezuela: Beach Hotels and Resorts in Venezuela

With its archipelagos and larger islands, and offshore national marine parks, the Venezuelan Caribbean coast offers holidays for visitors with a wealth of choice, with everything from tiny family posadas in unspoilt villages to large Caribbean resort hotels. Here you'll find the door opens to some of the best Latin American beach holidays available.

Much of Venezuela's Caribbean coastline is completely undeveloped and in its natural state: pearl white through to burnt gold soft sand beaches are closely backed by coconut groves and steep lumpy hills swathed in tropical vegetation.

We have narrowed down the choice to the best spots for your Caribbean beach holiday, whether it be the focal point of your trip or a few days beach wind down at the end of your holiday in Venezuela or one of the neighbouring countries less well endowed with holiday beaches.

From west to east they are:

Morrocoy National Marine Park: 
There are thousands of mangrove islands in a calm shallow sea, many with slivers of white or golden sand, others with larger white, soft sand beaches with a few low key services. Visit by boat. 3.5 hours drive from Caracas.

Posada Paraiso  Azul.

Los Roques islands:
The mostly deserted coral cays and white sand swept islands of the archipelago Los Roques is the Caribbean’s largest marine national park. There is great snorkelling off of the reefs  within aquamarine and jade green waters. 30 minutes’ flight from Caracas.
