Luxury Aruba beach holidays
Luxuriate on Eagle Beach and flex your toes in the sugar-white sand. Palm Beach draws windsurfers to its glimmering sapphire-blue waters. Below the waves, divers are enchanted by parrot fish swimming around limpet-clad wrecks. Shielded by reefs of coral peeking above the surf, the warm shallow waters of secluded Baby Beach are perfect for an afternoon swim.
Luxury things to do in Aruba
The centre of the island is full of colourful abodes accented by the wind-blown leaves of native divi-divi trees. A bicycle ride through Arikok National Park leads past cacti to mysterious Ayo and Casibari rock formations and Fontein Cave with its brown and red pictographs painted by Caquetio Indians. At Oranjestad, join the Aruban nightlife scene and dance to the infections rhythms of salsa and tumba bands.
Gourmet Aruba
You’ll awaken with the aroma of fresh Dutch coffee served to your private patio. Savour island specialities like crispy-crusted corn bread, zesty stewed green papaya and seafood prepared keshi yena style with Gouda cheese, spices and a rich brown sauce. Freshly caught lobster and kingfish are served on a rustic beachside veranda to the sound of lapping waves and a panoramic sunset view.
