Holy Week dates and the nights measured
The USCCB liturgical calendar, checked 25 October 2026, identifies Palm Sunday as 21 March 2027 and Easter Sunday as 28 March 2027. For the celebration in Antigua Guatemala, see our Semana Santa guide.
The calendar observation below stops at 2027-03-27. It cannot answer whether accommodation is available for the night of Easter Sunday, 2027-03-28. A stay extending into that date needs its own availability check.
Vrbo calendar availability: the dated comparison
These are our own measured Antigua Vrbo calendar figures. The fractions below are reproduced as stored, without conversion to percentages. A listing-night means a night on a listing’s calendar; open nights spread across different properties do not establish availability for a continuous stay.

The Holy Week interval has a higher blocked-night share in this sample. It was also observed 171 days ahead, compared with 31 days for the November interval. Those different lead times prevent a like-for-like claim about holiday demand. The comparison interval is labelled normal in our measurements, but includes All Saints Day; it does not isolate an ordinary, event-free week.
Blocked does not mean booked. A calendar can be unavailable for several reasons. These figures do not identify why a night was blocked, count confirmed reservations or establish the share of Antigua’s accommodation already sold.
Minimum stays and checking your lodging
For the Holy Week interval, 0.51 is the share of open listing-nights carrying a minimum stay greater than one night. The corresponding comparison value is 0.479. Neither value describes the share of properties with that restriction, nor does it give the individual minimum-night requirements for your dates.
Use the snapshot as context for a live search. Enter the whole stay, including Easter Sunday if needed, then check whether the same property accepts that arrival date and stay length. Confirm the full price, cancellation terms and check-in arrangements before paying. A pool of open nights across the sample is not a reservation offer.
For the broader accommodation comparison, use where to stay in Antigua Guatemala. For access planning, use the separate Semana Santa street-closures page; the lodging figures do not establish procession routes, vehicle access or closure hours.
The availability figures here are Vrbo-only. We do not have a comparable Airbnb Holy Week calendar aggregate, so Airbnb asking rates are not used as a substitute for event-week availability.
