Is a holiday rental in Holguín worth it?

A holiday apartment in Holguín offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Dreamy beaches, First-class relaxation and experience Holguín like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Holguín is Cuba's garden city and a largely undiscovered gem in the east of the island, offering a fascinating mix of colonial charm, spectacular beaches, and authentic Cuban daily life. The fourth largest city in Cuba is located in a fertile valley, surrounded by gentle hills that have given the region its nickname Ciudad de los Parques – everywhere shady plazas and parks invite you to linger. From Loma de la Cruz, the hill of the cross with its 458 steps, there is a breathtaking panoramic view over the city and the lush green surroundings.

The real attraction of the province of Holguín lies on the north coast: Playa Guardalavaca, one of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba, with warm, crystal-clear water and a vibrant coral reef right off the coast. Here, Christopher Columbus first set foot on Cuban soil in 1492 and described the island as the most beautiful land that human eyes have ever seen. The nearby Museo Chorro de Maíta houses one of the most significant pre-Columbian archaeological sites in the Caribbean with a Taíno Indian village and skeletal finds.

For German holidaymakers, Holguín is an attractive alternative to the overcrowded Varadero. Direct flights from Germany reach Frank País Airport in about 11 hours. Germans need a tourist card, which can be obtained in advance through the tour operator or at the airport. The time difference is minus 6 hours. In Holguín, you experience real Cuba: classic cars roll through the streets, live music sounds from open doors, and locals greet visitors with warm curiosity. The all-inclusive resorts on the coast offer the usual comfort, while the city itself provides an unvarnished insight into Cuban daily life.
