Discover a low-key holiday destination.

If you're looking for a quiet, unpretentious spot in the sun, head to the beaches near Manzanillo on Cuba's southeast coast. Snuggled between the mountains of the Sierra Maestra and the warm Caribbean Sea, Manzanillo's resorts are a low-key and affordable alternative to some of the island's better-known destinations..

Manzanillo de Cuba means history.

But the beaches aren't the only draw. The hills and mountains of Manzanillo's Granma province are studded with sites commemorating the Cuban revolution. Santiago de Cuba, the country's second largest city, is also well worth a day trip, but be sure to take the coastal road to be treated to stunning ocean and mountain views. .

Canadians have laid claim to this corner of Cuba and are almost the only foreign visitors to this part of the island. Less developed than other areas, the handful of older, modest resorts are about an hour from Manzanillo airport and emphasize value rather than glitz. With excellent prices, even at peak season, Manzanillo is a good choice for families on a budget or solo travellers.
