Playa Yuraguanal Holidays

Playa Yuraguanal is a man-made beach stretching for nearly one kilometer in the province of Holguin. This beautiful beach is just fifteen minutes away from the nearby town of Guardalavaca. All beaches in Holguin province are among the best and most beautiful beaches in Cuba. Light blue sea waters at Playa Yuraguanal are protected by wonderful coral reefs and the beach is surrounded by thick tropical vegetation. The weather in Playa Yuraguanal is warm and pleasant all year long, with average temperatures in the upper 20s C.

Although Playa Yuraguanal is not used exclusively by the guests of the hotel resort, the fact that the beach is located relatively away from other places means that most of the people that visit this beach are hotel guests. Locals and tourists mostly go to the bigger and wider beaches such as Playa Guardalavaca or Playa Pesquero, while this relatively small beach is mainly used by the hotel resort guests.

Despite being small, the beach has very nice white soft sand. Waters are shallow and warm, which makes this beach ideal for children. There are also plenty of natural shadows to hide from the sun, and there is also one nice beach bar, free sunbeds and umbrellas for hotel guests, as well as plenty of options for water sports.

Playa Yuraguanal is a clean and nice beach, but sometimes there are seaweeds on some parts of this beach. You can also see some very nice tropical fish swimming in its waters and a few crabs here and there. This beach is also a very good option for those that want to go snorkeling without too much crowds. All-inclusive hotel complexes behind the beach offer plenty of entertainment opportunities, and have own bars, restaurants and clubs, as well as several swimming pools. There are plenty of options for children too. Hotels have kid’s playgrounds and there are some nice parks nearby where they can freely play without worrying about traffic.

From Playa Yuraguanal you can go on many interesting boat trips and excursions. Go on a tour to the area of Guardalavaca, visit local shops and farms and admire the beautiful nature up in the hills. Take a trip to the town of Holguin and the local nice town of Gibara. There you will see interesting architecture, many beautiful houses, wooden huts, and attractive churches.

Visit some of the many local cigar factories and see the process of making Cuban cigars. All cigars are man-made without using any advanced technology for rolling. Hiking in the hillside is a great option for nature lovers, as there are numerous marked trails with amazing viewing points over the sea. Boating trips are also very interesting experiences. Ride on a catamaran boat with free bars and enjoy some snorkeling. With some luck you can spot dolphins and even take a swim with them in the warm waters.
