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.

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!

Guest review
Absolutely wonderful stay. Every staff member incredibly kind, the place clean and neat, delicious breakfast ("customisable" omelettes, fresh green juice and fruits, pancakes, great variety of foods), and the shuttle to the beach at any time. The AC broke in my initial room so I got a new one with an upgrade.

Guest review
During check in, I was met by Leyonardho, from the front desk, who immediately took care of me and made me feel welcomed the minute I arrived
Together with the manager, Gabriel. They both went out of their way to change my experience in Aruba for the better and it’s safe to say they definitely did so!
Leyonardho and Gabriel are truly wonderful assets to the hotel, and I hope to get to experience their outstanding service again during my next stay in Arub

Budget boutique hotel.in the city center.
The property has been recently refurbished and staff couldn't be more helpful.
Even though if next to a parking lot, it's very quiet.
Featuring an extensive garden, a sun terrace with swimming pool and free WiFi throughout, Coconut Inn is 5 minutes’ drive from Palm Beach and 2 km from South Beach.

I like the buffet breakfast. I love that the staff is friendly and down to earth. I like the little library they added to the place. I have been visiting 3 times in a row and certainly I will continuing on doing so
