Things to do around your stay

Our villas put you minutes from Aruba's best beaches, reefs, and landscapes. Here is where our guests spend their days.

Noord

Eagle Beach

Consistently ranked among the world's best beaches, Eagle Beach is a short drive from most of our Noord properties. Wide white sand, calm turquoise water, and the famous divi-divi trees bent by the trade winds.

Go at sunrise for the calmest water and the fewest crowds.

Oranjestad

Flamingo Beach, Renaissance Island

A private island beach a short boat ride from downtown Oranjestad, home to Aruba's resident flamingos. Access is limited, so it is worth booking ahead if it is on your list.

Weekday mornings have shorter boat queues than weekends.

Noord

California Lighthouse

Aruba's northernmost point, where the calm Caribbean side meets the rougher Atlantic coast. The lighthouse itself is a quick stop, but the coastal views and nearby restaurants make it worth an evening trip.

Time it for sunset and stay for dinner at one of the cliffside restaurants.

Island-wide

Arikok National Park

Nearly a fifth of the island is protected parkland: desert landscape, cactus fields, hidden coves, and cave systems. Best explored by 4x4 or an organized UTV tour.

Bring water and start early. There is little shade and it gets hot fast.

West coast

Snorkeling the reefs

Calm, clear water along Aruba's leeward coast makes for easy snorkeling right off the beach, plus boat trips out to shipwrecks and reefs further offshore.

Several of our villas keep beach gear on hand. Ask what is included when you enquire.

Oranjestad

Downtown Oranjestad

Colorful Dutch colonial architecture, duty-free shopping, and waterfront dining along the harbor. A good half-day trip between beach days.

The main strip gets busy when cruise ships are in port. Check the day's schedule before you go.
