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 location of the hotel is perfect, it’s just a block from the beach and reserved beach palapas come with your stay (you have until 11 to claim them). We also received complimentary cold towels on the beach and you can ride in a chichi to get to the beach. We elected to walk though because it’s so close. We were also able to walk to many restaurants.

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!

We LOVED the peaceful MVC accommodations. Its directly across from Eagle Beach. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Its super clean and the breakfast exceeded our expectations. The pool was so small, but we spent all our time at the beach.

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.
