Insider tip — Elguea is Cuba's most celebrated thermal resort, fed by sulfurous springs that emerge at unusually high temperatures near 50°C. Celebrated since the 19th century, its relaxed and authentically Cuban atmosphere contrasts sharply with the coastal beach resorts. The air carries the faint rotten-egg scent of hydrogen sulfide that devoted soakers learn to appreciate. Book the full hydrotherapy program rather than just pool access to experience the resort as intended.
