Aruba

Aruba

Aruba is pricier than Cancun or Punta Cana, but it earns it: outside the hurricane belt, almost always sunny, constant trade winds, and an English-speaking culture that blends Dutch, Caribbean and South American.

Best Time to Visit

When to Go

Year-round. Seriously. Aruba averages 82°F with low humidity and barely any rain. December–April is peak tourist season and highest prices. September–November is cheapest and still gorgeous.

Beyond the Hotel

What to See

You can stay on the resort. But here’s what you’d be missing.

Eagle Beach

Consistently ranked top-5 beach in the world. Wider and less crowded than nearby Palm Beach.

Arikok National Park

60% of the island is rugged desert-cactus landscape. UTV/Jeep tours hit caves, natural pools, and sand dunes. A completely different Aruba.

Oranjestad

The colorful Dutch colonial capital. Walkable, small, good for a half-day with free trolleys.

California Lighthouse

North-tip sunset spot. Pair with a dinner stop.

Local Knowledge

Things you should know

Currency

Aruban florin locally; USD is universally accepted and often preferred.

Language

Official: Dutch and Papiamento. Everyone in tourism speaks English well.

Weather

Outside the hurricane belt. Trade winds mean hats fly away — tie it down or don’t bring it.

Tap water
