Aruba is an idyllic southern Caribbean island that’s an ideal setting for a tropical vacation. This island nation has stretches of breathtaking coastline that range from white sand beaches to rocky cliffs. Aruba welcomes over a million visitors each year, many of whom head to popular beaches such as Eagle Beach and Baby Beach. Clustered around these tourist spots are endless opportunities for dining, shopping, and other entertainment. Adventurous travelers may venture to the ends of the island, which are less crowded but no less beautiful. Explore underwater by snorkeling or diving and through the crystal-clear water, you’ll be able to see sea life and even shipwrecks. The island has plenty of resorts, but if you want to feel at home during your stay, check out our list of the top vacation rentals in Aruba.
