HOLGUÍN, A DESTINATION OFFERING MYRIAD OPTIONS
The ideal spot for sea lovers. Playa Pesquero nestles on the North Coast, one of the Caribbean’s best-known stretches of coastline, featuring a succession of coves and bays dotted with cliffs covered in lush vegetation and fine white sandy beaches. Fans of scuba diving and snorkelling will revel in the stunning natural sight of brightly-coloured fish swimming in one of the world’s largest coral reefs, situated 15 km from the hotel.
Back on dry land, the more adventurous guests will find the perfect routes in areas such as La Mensura Nature Park, Sierra Cristal National Park and Guayabo Waterfall. Visitors can go hiking, marvel at waterfalls of up to one hundred metres high and admire the wealth of biodiversity that characterises the eastern side of the island.
Pre-Columbian culture for all. Situated a few kilometres from the hotel, is Banes, known as Cuba’s ‘capital of archaeology’, Gibara and the city of Holguín itself, all boasting historic quarters with a unique cultural wealth. The lively boulevards are lined with theatres and host countless film and music festivals, offering visitors the chance to experience the thrills and excitement of the true essence of Cuba.
Iberostar Selection Holguín offers an appealing mix of attractions that set it apart from other hotels, combined with a full range of services, leisure and entertainment, providing an authentic Cuban experience for visitors choosing to spend their holidays on the island.
