North Americans fleeing winter make Aruba the most visited island in the southern Caribbean. You’ll find miles of glorious white-sand beaches, plenty of all-inclusive resorts, and a cute, compact capital, Oranjestad, which is well suited for the two-hour strolls favored by cruise-ship passengers. It’s all about sun, fun and spending money.
Venture away from the resorts and you’re in for a real treat. At the island’s extreme ends are rugged, windswept vistas and uncrowded beaches – perfect for hiking and horseback riding. Crystal-clear waters are bursting with sea life and shipwrecks (and an airplane wreck or two), providing incredible opportunities for snorkeling and diving. And nonstop breezes create near-perfect conditions for windsurfing and kite boarding.
The island is 19.6 miles long and 6 miles across, with a total area of 70 square miles. They’re located just below the hurricane belt, and unlike many islands in the Caribbean, the climate is dry, so they rarely have a rainy day. On the south and west coasts of Aruba, you’ll find Oranjestad, the capital city, and miles of beaches that have been named some of the best in the world. There, you’ll find most of the hotels and all-inclusive resorts in Aruba. To learn more about all the beautiful beaches on Aruba, visit here. Now view our Aruba travel guide to help plan your next Aruba vacation!
Aruba Weather – When to Visit
Aruba is blessed with clear skies, sunshine (more sunny days than any other island!) and the cooling trade winds practically every day of the year. Except for a few scattered brief showers on some days, the sun does really always shine here! Wonderful Aruba weather is one of the many reasons for the island’s highest return-visitor rate in the Caribbean.
There is no best time to visit Aruba as the weather is consistently warm year-round with a fairly constant temperature of 82°F. The best time to visit all depends on the type of vacation you are looking for. Aruba tends to be more crowded during high season (mid December – mid April), as many visitors are trying to escape from the cold and come to Aruba for some warmth and sunshine. During this period hotel prices are higher than in low season and reservations need to be made well in advance. If you are looking for a less crowded period it is recommended to visit Aruba during low season (mid April – mid December).
Aruba Attractions
Arikok National Park
Arikok National ParkAruban rattlesnakes, parakeets and whiptail lizards make their home in the Arikok National Park, as do numerous iguanas, goats, donkeys and migratory birds. So if you don’t like animals, stay clear of Aruba’s southeastern quadrant, which is dominated by this ecological preserve and extremely popular tourist stop. Many who visit Arikok make a day of observing the area’s wildlife, exploring the caves, sand dunes and limestone cliffs that populate the area, or examining the Amerindian art and abandoned gold mines that sit within the park’s limits. Many choose to drive through the park in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, but you can also get out and hike in some spots. Considering the breadth of land and activity in Arikok, it’s best to pick one or two top things to do or perhaps visit the park again on another day.
Palm Beach
Palm BeachSome like the beach for swimming, not sporting. If this is you, ditch the “Low-Rise area” at Eagle Beach and try the more tranquil turquoise waters along Palm Beach, located just above Eagle Beach on Aruba’s western coast. You’ll have fewer Jet Skis and wake boarders to avoid as you wade in the Caribbean Sea. Palm Beach, also known as “High-Rise area,” and is open to the public at any time of day, and many of the hotels will allow you to change in their lobby bathrooms or purchase refreshments at their concession stands or beach bars.
Donkey Sanctuary Aruba
Donkey Sanctuary ArubaGet ready to be overwhelmed with cute: the Donkey Sanctuary Aruba is a nonprofit organization devoted to saving the island’s donkeys and educating locals and tourists on their care. Donkeys used to be the main form of transportation on the island; now many of them are sick and injured. The lucky ones receive proper care and shelter in this donkey sanctuary in the Santa Cruz neighborhood in Aruba’s northeast side about 8 miles from Eagle Beach. Visitors find the animals to be sweet, docile creatures eager to interact with people — especially if you bring the right treats.
.
Hadicurari Beach
Hadicurari BeachLocated near Aruba’s northwestern tip, just past the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, Hadicurari Beach’s strong winds beckon to windsurfers and kite boarders. You’ll know you’re at the right place when you see beach shacks dotting a pebbly coastline; the beach here is nicknamed “Fisherman’s Huts” for that very reason. The area’s shallow, iridescent water is also good for snorkeling. Like all of Aruba’s beaches, Hadicurari is free to visit all the time, but it’s an especially popular beach in late June or early July during the Aruba Hi-Winds kite surfing and windsurfing tournament.
Eagle Beach
Eagle BeachKnown as “Low-Rise area” for its low-to-the-ground hotels and timeshares, northwestern Eagle Beach is one of the island’s top shores by default – you’re probably staying nearby. Eagle Beach truly is one of the best places to spend a day in Aruba. The beach is magnificent with gorgeous white sand and the bluest water. There are high winds, so plan to wear a hat to protect from any flying sand.

Dear Leahrae,
As a traveler, I always love to add new places into my travel list and I am a beach person, so Aruba sounds interesting.
Read about the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaca) in the past and after reading your article I am determined to visit Aruba one day.
I enjoyed the eye-pleasing images and the video you embedded. I felt like I am in Aruba while watching the video, thanks for sharing! Information on Aruba Attractions are very helpful and a lot of activities can be done.
You have provided a great walk-through and loads of valuable information in your guide and as usual, I am bookmarking your guide for future reference.
Much Success!
Paul
Great Paul, I am glad you enjoyed your digital visit to Aruba! Thanks for stopping by beach travel destinations.
Oh my! Aruba sounds amazing!! Now I know where to plan our winter vacation. I mean.. a DONKEY sanctuary?? Come on! That’s too good to be true.
Thanks for this post! I bookmarked it so I have the perfect reference to get everything organized for our trip to Aruba.. possibly for multiple trips there! I especially love that the climate is drier there than most Caribbean destinations, I never knew that and honestly that’s always been a huge deterrent after experiencing high humidity in some places.
Yes, I have naturally curly hair and the humidity does not allow for me to do any kind of style, but I will still take it any day! Aruba is wonderful. Thanks for stopping by!
My husband and I were just talking about looking for an island with balmy weather all-year-round and moving there – wherever it was. We used to live on an island with fantastic beaches, wildlife and rugged peaks. But we’d get sunlight maybe a few months a year – if we’re lucky. I’ve only managed to go for a swim in the azure waters twice in the 5 years I lived there. lol
Thanks for this post. We never even ventured close to Aruba.
Well you two would love Aruba! Time for some warm breezes and sand between your toes. Not to mention a nice tropical drink as well 🙂 My kind of life for sure! Thanks for stopping by.
I dream of tropical island living. I have lived on a tropical island for a year and would go back to live there if it were possible.
Aruba is Spanish for ‘valueless’. Aruba is a Dutch colony.
What is the snorkeling like in Aruba? I spent a year diving in Rarotonga, back then the marine life was rich and abundant. The last time I visited, most of the marine life had disappeared. Can you include some basic prices in your review?
Hi Aaron, well Aruba is definitely not valueless LOL. And there is plenty of underwater life to see while snorkeling here. Marine life has not died off, thankfully! It is hard to include basic prices as that is a really broad term when it comes to vacations. Hotel prices fluctuate too much and change too much during the year. I guess that is why I added the links so you can go to a hotel you are interested in, put in your dates and get an exact price. I don’t want to put misinformation on my site, so I have kind of stayed away from basic prices on things that generally fluctuate a lot. Thanks for your input and for visiting beach travel destinations.
Aruba appears to be the ideal getaway from the terrible mid-west winters. Your website contains any and all information that could possibly be needed. The pictures are very inclusive. The weather seems to be nearly perfect with accommodations to match. I will be pinning this website to my home page for easy future reference.
Great Donald! I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Beach Travel destinations.
Hi! I like that you have included affordable hotels and also the first class ones. It’s good to have both. One of the things I mostly like about Aruba is it’s nice weather all year round. I have visited the Island a couple of times (One happy Island as their slogan reads) and it’s weather is similar to Falcon State’s weather in Venezuela (a region I also visit frequently).
Wow, you are a lucky guy to frequent destinations like Aruba. I hope I brought a few new ideas to your attention 🙂
I’m going to bookmark this page to show to my grown up family as this is definitely somewhere I want us to go on our annual family getaway. You have everything covered so I can sell the idea to them. Once we decide to start the planning, can you help us with possibly a package for a large group? There will probably be about 10 of us. Are there accommodations that can work for our family?
Thank you
Karen
You and your family will have a wonderful time in Aruba! And yes, I can help you. Of course, not all of you will be able to stay in the same room. I can look into a villa rental or something as well, and give you the different options when you are ready 🙂
Hey there,
Another great destination coming from you! The weather is getting very bad (winter is coming) where I am located and reading your post is tempting me to just leave it all, pack a bag and fly to hot Aruba. I think that I am in love with Baby beach. It is so attractive.I’d definitely try the kitesurfing as well. Never tried it but there is first time for everything. Have you tried kite surfing?
Thanks for teleporting me to a haunting destination. It is on my to visit list.
Yes, another dreamy place for you to visit. And they are ideal with their weather constant pretty much year round. I don’t think there is a time that would not be good to visit them during. No, I have not tried kite surfing. I want to though, it looks so fun and I am game for any water sports 🙂 Thanks for reading the Aruba Travel Guide.
Aruba sounds GREAT! There is so much good information here. I am a simple guy and focus on the beach, food and weather when I look to get away and relax.
It looks like Aruba has all of those bases covered and then some. Back to the weather. Your description could not be more perfect. I will be visiting Aruba in the near future. Thanks 😉
I am glad my information put good visions in your head of great beaches, delicious food and wonderful weather. You will certainly get all of this and more in Aruba. Aruba beaches are some of the best in the world, everyone should experience Aruba at least once in their lifetime! Glad you enjoyed the Aruba Travel Guide.
This island has everything. Most part of the time we look for Acapulco amongst other popular beaches to go and spend vacations on. Caribbean itself sounds like a place to go for a complete new adventure and experience. Your guide just left me with no questions about anything. Perfect article. Totally sharing it!
Great Claudia, I am glad you enjoyed reading and found everything you needed in my Aruba Travel Guide. And yes, this island does have everything, that is for sure 🙂
I’ve never been to Aruba but I definitely wanna go now. I can’t even read the word Aruba without that Beach Boys song going through my head! I love the smaller islands that are doable in a day or two, and it’s nice that Aruba isn’t so rainy. I also totally have to check out the donkey sanctuary. Thanks for all the great information!
You are most welcome. Thanks for visiting my Aruba Travel Guide. I know the feeling, I think of the EXACT same song when I think of Aruba. And I tell myself, I am going to go to every place they talk about…just a goal LOL Anyway, Aruba is amazing and you would love it!
Thanks for sharing this most beautiful and complete guide Leahrae. I don’t know Aruba at all but I believe it is awesome. I have been considering a cruise with a stop in Aruba, but now I have th rethink this. I think that I would much rather enjoy staying in Aruba for a week or more. I do know a lot of the beaches in Florida, the Mediterranean and the west coast of France and Australia, and Aruba looks to be just as beautiful or more so. I do understand your joy when you are putting together such a great website. I look forward to your future articles. Do you think a week would be long enough to enjoy Aruba?
Best wishes,
John ツ
Yes, John I think that you could have a great time in a week and really get to get a good taste for Aruba. I personally don’t think one day in port is long enough at some a beautiful destination. I would definitely choose planning a trip to Aruba over a cruise 🙂
Wow, Aruba looks amazing. The national park sounds so beautiful and the donkey sanctuary really heartwarming. What a great island and a fantastic place to vacation, and so lucky they’re located underneath the hurricane belt. It’s strange that the island gets so little rain but still looks very green and lush. What a beautiful part of the world. A real paradise 🙂
I would have to agree that Aruba is a real paradise! Out of all the Caribbean islands, I think that it has the most constant weather, fewer storms, and of course not in the hurricane belt. And yes, even though it gets so little rain, it is still green and lush and beautiful as you say 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
Wow, Aruba is just beautiful and so many options for things to do and see. I love that you included the restaurants and the bars as well. I have been looking for a Caribbean getaway that was not impacted by the hurricanes, as am planning a trip for this winter. Such perfect timing to find this post while searching for information on the island of Aruba! Thank you so much for providing such detailed and great information!
Yes, Aruba was so fortunate to miss all of the devastation. Even though they are not in range for hurricanes, I suppose it is always a possibility. You will really enjoy Aruba, and if you need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for visiting BeachTravelDestinations.com!
Wonderful article. I am reading this post as it is snowing outside my Colorado home and imagining being on the beach in Aruba. I have never been to the Caribbean, but can only imagine how beautiful the weather must be. We are looking to plan a family trip and have two small children. I love that you have kid friendly options on your posts as this will likely be the only way we get to travel for a while, lol! Anyways, thank you for the great information. It is something to consider!
Hi Tiffany and glad you enjoyed reading about the beautiful island of Aruba! Yes, it is really an ideal island to vacation to with children. They also were not impacted by the hurricanes, as they are not in the hurricane zone. Where are you in Colorado that it is snowing in September? Must be up by the ski resorts? How beautiful! Thanks for reading my Aruba Travel Guide.
I love traveling to Aruba. Like you said it is more crowded during high season, but as you said as well, the Island has great weather year round. It can’t be beat, I agree! I can handle a few storms during the year, as the warm temperature is a constant and wonderful. Aruba does have some great restaurants, as the ones you listed. One to add to your list is a favorite of mine, Smokey Joe’s Island Grill for its ambiance and location. The hotel selection is also great that you listed. So many choices from budget friendly to absolutely first class. Great article and spot on!
Yes, Aruba is probably the one island that has the best weather year round, hands down. Along with the fact that they are not in the hurricane zone, is of course another plus. I live in Florida, and one thing I don’t mind is the occasional shower or to. They never last long and then the sun is back out and it’s warm again. Thank you so much for visiting the Aruba Travel Guide.
The minute I saw the picture on your post it took me straight back to my trip to St.John. The color of the water and the white sand, I loved it. You covered everything possible in your article. I have been to Aruba and I can’t think of anything you missed, lol. I am a dive master and I spend most of my time diving when I was there but in my down time the night life was incredible. We took taxies because it was easier and more convenient.
The beautiful shots you managed to get of the island are awesome. They take me back to when I was there.
I didn’t know the laws on how long you could stay though. That was news to me. Good to know if I ever decide to go back. Great article. Very informative. Makes me want to pack.
Thank you so much Deborah! I am glad that I got everything the post that needs to be there. Oh, to be a dive master, how fun! That is one thing that I have been looking forward to trying. I get a bit claustrophobic under water, so I have to get past that. Glad you enjoyed reading the Aruba Travel Guide!
