The charm of real nature

The extensive Hicacos Peninsula is home to the most famous resort on the island. An endless strip of stunning beaches with fine white sand for travellers seeking a perfect holiday. As it’s close to the cities of Havana and Cienfuegos, it’s excellent for venturing further inland away from the sea.
