Holguin Cuba- A relaxing way to begin your holiday

Easygoing starter pack: Easy way to Santiago

Holguin, located on the eastern side of Cuba, is the perfect place to fly to from the UK if you want to start out in Santiago de Cuba before continuing westwards towards Havana. 

The drive into Santiago is likely to add another 4 hours onto your journey time and you'll probably fancy a shower and some sleep after the long flight in. That's why we recommend spending a night in Holguin before travelling on to your next destination in Cuba. This Holguin Cuba tour is a relaxing way to start off your Cuba trip; you are on holiday after all. Upon your arrival at Holguin airport, a transfer will be waiting to take you to your accommodation which is nestled in the tropical green hills surrounding Holguin. The hotel swimming pool is an excellent place to get rid of any stiffness left over from the flight in. The following day you'll pick up your rental cary begin your Santiago trip with our module Buena Vista Santiago.

Day 1: Arrival in Holguin

As you enter the arrivals hall at Holguin Airport you'll be greeted by the sounds of cheerful Cuban music. After the 20-minute transfer you'll arrive at your accommodation for the night of your Holguin Cuba tour. The hotel is perched up on a hill overlooking the city of Holguin and the tropical green vegetation that surrounds it. The hotel lobby has a few comfortable rocking chairs for you to recline on, but you can also spend time relaxing in the swimming pool or on one of the sun beds on the patio.

You can say goodbye to any signs of jetlag as you wake up in the morning and gaze out upon the hotel's lovely green gardens. The rest of the day can be spent acclimatising or, if you're feeling up to it, you may want to spend a few hours strolling through the city streets of Holguin.

Day 2: Departure - End of the Holguin Cuba tour

If you would like to spend the day cruising around the Holguin area in a rental car, you can pick one up at the airport. The airport is only a 20-minute taxi ride away from your hotel. If you prefer, you could also pick up your rental car right after your arrival in Holguin. 

After this Holguin Cuba package has finished, you can head off on our Santiago trip or head straight to the Cuban jungle with our Tropical Cuba Baracoa beach stay.
