When the Beach Boys crooned about Aruba, they knew what they were talking about. The gorgeous island is home to long stretches of white sand beaches, aquamarine water, and an ever-present breeze that keeps it at just the right temperature. All this, and it sits conveniently outside of the hurricane belt. But beyond the award-winning beaches, Aruba has so much to offer. Arikok National Park makes up nearly 20 percent of the island with its cacti, rocky shores, and vast natural pools. You’ll find limestone caves along the North Coast with historic cave drawings and pictographs, and crystal clear and shallow waters perfect for snorkeling at Mangel Halto. It’s easy to see why someone may choose to visit this idyllic island, but figuring out the right place to stay can be somewhat more difficult.
Aruba is home to a variety of amazing hotels and resorts, and we’ve done the leg work to help you narrow down which one is right for you. Whether you’re looking for an adults-only stay or a family-friendly all-inclusive, these are our top picks for the best resorts in Aruba.
