For winter escapes, it's hard to beat the consistently warm island of Aruba. Situated in the south Caribbean, it showcases everything you'd expect from a picture of paradise –immaculate white-sand beaches, diving excursions to shipwrecks and swaying palm trees. Every day, cruise ships ferry over tourists from neighbouring islands to the Aruba’s capital of Oranjestad, keen to experience its energetic nightlife or shop for keepsakes at one of the famous jewellery stores. The town is also a great base for watersports. Diving schools cater for all abilities and offer views of everything from coral reefs to sunken World War II boats. The island's constant, cool breeze also makes it a hotspot for windsurfing and parasailing. Aruba is a beach mecca, offering everything from quiet retreats to bustling sunbathing sites. Situated in Oranjestad, Eagle Beach is generally thought of as one of the best beaches in the world. Throw your towel down on the soft, white sand and keep an eye out for newly hatched turtles making their first expedition into the turquoise ocean. Away from the pristine shores, Aruba has a striking desert terrain along its north coast. Jeep safaris and tours are available and make for an easy way to take in the jagged rock formations and colourful Cunucu houses. You can further immerse yourself in nature by visiting a bird sanctuary, butterfly farm or horseback riding through the countryside. Aruba features a wealth of first-class hotels and beach resorts, particularly along the northwestern coast of the island. If you prefer a more personal stay, a number of private homes or exclusive villas are available to rent out all year round.

Guest review
The vibe is really great and the casitas are super cute as they are all individual houses. Definitely has the luxury boutique feeling. Inside the property, it has enough amenities and even ice box for the beach. Everything is very well thought through, we have had a super stay. It gives you a feeling that you are in the forest as it’s surrounded by palm trees.
The hotel staff are super helpful and Demy has been a star for us during our stay. Her level of service has been personal and great in human touch, we really appreciate her effort of finding us the perfect restaurant. We feel so comfortable and well looked after.

Wonderful Stay at Aruba Boutique & Art Hotel – Highly Recommended!
My wife and I spent 7 unforgettable days at the Aruba Boutique & Art Hotel, and it was the perfect vacation. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and at home. The entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable every single day.
What stood out the most was the exceptional staff – they were truly professional, polite, always smiling, and went out of their way to be helpful. Whether it was assistance with recommendations, poolside service, or anything else, they made us feel valued and cared for.
The hotel's unique art theme added a special touch, with beautiful pieces throughout the lobby and property. Our room was comfortable and clean, the pool area was a lovely spot to unwind, and the location was convenient for exploring nearby beaches like Palm Beach.
We couldn't have asked for a better stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you to the whole team for making our trip so memorable!

Fantastic quiet property located just behind the large high rise hotels. The staff were very helpful especially when our room flooded due to torrential rain. They moved us straight away to another room.
Decent breakfast options

Guest review
All the staff were super, Leonardo's positive attitude was infectious upon arrival after a long tiring flight. Fresh new modern hotel, not beach front, but everything is within walking distance and easy to access. Concierge Valintina was excellent at arranging all activities and also with general help. The pools are also fantastic. I would happily stay here again.
