Exploring One Happy Island

Nestled just north of Venezuela, Aruba spans 33 kilometers (about 21 miles) of breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality. Famous for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and landmarks like the California Lighthouse and Natural Bridge (which collapsed in 2005 but remains popular), offering raw beauty and cultural charm.

Explore contrasting terrains—from the serene sands of Eagle Beach to the rugged cliffs of the North Coast, where Black Stone Beach and striking rock formations steal the show. A visit to Arikok National Park, which covers 20% of the island, reveals Aruba’s wild side with volcanic rocks and hidden natural pools.
