Aruba is a favorite holiday destination thanks to its fantastic weather and gorgeous scenery. One of its well-known landmarks is the Alto Vista Chapel, easily recognizable because of its yellow walls and red roof. Aruba also has other attractions you can visit to catch glimpses of its past, including Fort Zoutman and the historic gold mines on the island. Avid bird watchers, meanwhile, can head over to Bubali Bird Sanctuary where they can see different types of lovely feathered creatures. Of course, its beaches remain its top attractions. Baby Beach is a favorite of families traveling with kids, while Arashi Beach is where you can go snorkeling and swimming. You don’t have to hit the beach to go swimming, though. Read on to find the top villas with private pool in Aruba, so you can take a dip any time you want.
