Ultra Luxury Aruba Holidays
Welcome to a Caribbean paradise that may be small—at less than twenty miles long and just six miles wide—but what Aruba lacks in space, it more than makes up for in warmth and hospitality. This picture-perfect island embodies beauty on the inside and out, and the feeling you get the moment you arrive is dubbed ‘the Aruba Effect’ by its residents, that is: calm, carefree, and totally relaxed.
Palm Beach is a hotspot for tourists, with a plethora of luxurious hotels, restaurants and casinos taking up residence here. However, for a more unspoilt island experience, venture to Eagle Beach, where laid-back Caribbean living is king. Expect to be hanging out in thatched beach hangouts and chatting away with friendly locals that welcome you with open arms while sipping on rum cocktails, and perhaps a piña colada or two!
Get up close and personal with some of the island’s famous pink residents on the iconic Flamingo Beach. Nestled on the private Renaissance Island just off Aruba’s coast, these pink-feathered friends peacefully roam the sugar-soft sands and revel in human attention—a bucket-list activity for sure!
Exploring the island is a breeze. Rent a car or bike to take in the sights at your leisure or jump in a taxi to see the vistas of the capital, Oranjestad. Located just steps from the marina, the city’s central shopping district offers a vibrant retail experience with an array of jewellery stores, top designer boutiques, and cafés selling tasty Dutch delicacies. Head south for San Nicholas and peruse its colourful galleries, shops and boutiques, and take home authentic hand-crafted Aruban gifts and souvenirs.
Aruba’s coastline is peppered with entrancing coral reefs, vivid marine life, and intriguing shipwrecks, including the third largest in the Caribbean, the SS Antilla. Discover the wonders of the deep with a host of scuba, snorkelling, and submarine tours available for all ages!

Aruba in a nutshell
Clear turquoise waters and pristine white sands are framed by swaying palm trees at the picture-postcard location that is Palm Beach. Home to Aruba’s most popular hotel zone, this lively, high-rise resort area delivers bars, restaurants, and water sports activity aplenty, offering a fun day out for all.
Nearby lies the dreamlike Eagle Beach with its distinctly calmer atmosphere and reputation as one of the world’s best beaches. Expect the same gorgeous scenery with a more secluded and upmarket air—this is the perfect spot for lazy days in the sun with nothing but a book and a whole load of sunscreen.
Food options in Aruba are varied and delicious whichever way you turn, with most options in Palm Beach and Oranjestad. From traditional Dutch and Asian styles to African and Spanish inspirations alongside an infusion of Caribbean flavours, the island’s culinary diversity reflects its warm and welcoming culture. You can sample freshly caught fish in an oceanfront setting, sip a glass of wine at sunset with your toes nuzzling into the sand, or indulge in fine dining heaven amid the romantic backdrop of a century-old lighthouse.
For an al fresco dining experience in a festival-like atmosphere, head to Smokey Joe’s Island Grill in Palm Beach. Home to vast portions, mouth-watering flavours and arguably the best baby back ribs in the Caribbean, this casual eatery is a must-visit hotspot. Typical Aruban dishes are essential to try, too. Look out for pan bati (cornflour flatbread/pancake), carni stoba (beef stew) and keshi yena (stuffed cheese) – yum!
Your days can be spent exploring the gorgeous tropical marine life that inhabits Aruba’s shores. Occupying the shallows, expect to see shoals of distinctive sergeant major damselfish just a few moments the shore, as well as a world of colourful fish and sea creatures at prime snorkelling spots around the island.
Venture deeper and explore the famous ship and airplane wrecks around the island, with no fewer than ten to explore, Aruba is one of the best destinations in the world for wreck diving. The remains of the SS Antilla are the most well-known site located on the northwest coast and comprise one of the largest wreckages in the Caribbean Sea, attracting keen divers from all over the world.
If you’d rather view wonders of the deep in a comfortable seat without getting wet, experience something truly unique and dive 45 metres below the surface with the iconic Atlantis Submarines Aruba. Enjoy a front-row view of the stunning aquatic life beneath the surface, including drifting sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and vibrant corals on a world-class underwater adventure.
As dusk falls, absorb the balmy evening breeze and gentle Caribbean rhythms of Aruba’s exciting nightlife in Oranjestad and Palm Beach. From elegant beachfront lounges to thrilling casinos and spirited nightclubs, wherever your evening vibes take you, you can do it in luxury and style.
