This Dutch Caribbean island has sunny weather, pristine beaches, and gentle surf that attracts beach-goers. True to its name, One Happy Island, every day of your stay on Aruba is full of bliss and adventure. Days on this island can be spent riding the waves, indulging in submarines rides, and relaxing on the beach. For adventure seekers looking for the best spot for water thrills, consider Boca Grandi, Arashi Beach, and Eagle Beach. But if you’re into luxury and nightlife, Palm Beach is the place to be. There, you will find a long strip of superb resorts, nightclubs, and restaurants that overlooks the coast. For those who prefer having a space of their own, check out this list of the best beachfront rentals in Aruba.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and location with easy access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 18, 2024.
