To the northern part of the eastern region, Holguín province, Guardalavaca keeps all the charm and purity of unique places; a strip of virgin land, fine sand and quiet and beautiful sea.

Guardalavaca is fairly close to Gibara, the first place Colón stepped in Cuba.

65 kilometers far from "Frank País" International Airport, City of Holguín, it is also very close to other colorful sites such as Banes and Gibara, the latter being the only Cuban city which was surrounded by walls beside Havana.

Guardalavaca covers a 1 200 mt long- bank, formed by shell-like beaches, intimate and frequently improved by enormous cliffs.

Boca de las Esponjas, El Salto and Cañon de los Aguajíes are only some of the best known sites out of a dozen which are ideal for scuba diving, while Tanques Azules, at neighbour Gibara, a grouping of flooded caverns unique in its type, are only appropriate for speleodivers.

To the eastern and western parts of the beach, tracking and horse riding are appropriate given the perfect condition of the area. Additionally, an important bird corridor crosses over the spa, which is located at a place regarded by experts as the archeological capital of Cuba..

The so called Chorro de Maíta, a few minutes from the beach, is among one of the most important funeral places in the Caribbean area, while Banes boasts of hosting one of the best Indocuban Museum.
