Iberostar Selection Holguin

Apart from being the third most visited destination in Cuba, Holguín province is an experience in itself. Not only because of its beaches and the evocative corners of the city it is named after, embellished by endless parks, but also for being home to this incredible 5-star hotel. Located on the sea front, on the idyllic Playa Pesquero, surrounded by tropical gardens, the Iberostar Selection Holguín Resort offers a world of excitement for the whole family.

• Exclusivity for those over 18. If you’re looking for maximum comfort on your holiday in the Caribbean, find out more about our exclusive adults only Star Prestige services. At our luxury facilities in Cuba you’ll receive preferential treatment and an array of services to ensure your days of rest are a delight for the senses. Tempting, isn’t it?


• A culinary tour without leaving the hotel. Why not make the most of your holiday in Holguín to get to know other cultures through their food? At Iberostar, you have seven restaurants —a buffet, a Star Prestige breakfast area, four à la carte restaurants and a snack bar on the beach— serving the best Japanese, Mediterranean and gourmet food. 


• Dive among the coral reefs. On Guardalavaca beach, located just 15 km from the hotel, there are 30 km of coastline with 22 diving sites. From any of these, you can dive to depths of between 5 and 40 metres, in an area inhabited by whole constellations of colourful fish and by the second biggest coral reef in the world.

You can’t leave the Iberostar Holguín without:

• Attending an evening of theatre. If you enjoy the theatre, check out the Eddy Suñol main theatre, which opened in 1939 and is considered one of the main Art-Déco buildings in Holguín. Its programme normally includes zarzuelas and other theatre genres so you’re sure to have an unforgettable evening. Raise the curtain!


• Relaxing on the Cayo Saetía beach. This small 42 km² island lies 120 km south-east of the city of Holguín, between the bay of Nipe and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic. With its fine white sandy beaches, it is the ideal place to wind down, top up your tan or go for a swim.


• Go on a trip on a catamaran. The Holguín coastline is the closest thing to Eden on Earth. The view of magical enclaves like Playa Pesquero or Playa Turquesa… from the ocean will convince you of this. Contact the hotel staff to book a catamaran excursion. You’ll love it!

The best-kept secret:

A mine of excitement. Literally. Not because of the beauty of Holguín’s beaches or the tidiness of the provincial capital, but because of its mining deposits. In fact, this place is popularly known as the land of nickel, as around 20% of its income comes from Cuban exports from the mining of this mineral.
