Aruba is one of the Caribbean’s most reliably sunny destinations, and that reliability is a big part of its appeal. Sitting just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela in the southern Caribbean, Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt and enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year along with cooling trade winds that make even the hottest months comfortable. The beaches here are world-class: Eagle Beach consistently ranks among the best in the Caribbean, with its wide, powdery white sand and calm, crystal-clear water. But Aruba is more than a beach destination. The island’s diverse cultural heritage, vibrant culinary scene, lively nightlife, and dramatic desert interior set it apart from the typical Caribbean experience. Oranjestad, the colorful Dutch colonial capital, offers excellent dining, shopping, and a genuinely charming waterfront. From luxury all-inclusive resorts on Palm Beach to boutique hotels in quieter corners of the island, Aruba has options for every type of traveler. Our Aruba travel guides cover the best resorts, hotels, beaches, restaurants, and activities to help you make the most of your visit to the Happy Island.
