Aruba, one of the stunning ABC islands, blends rich cultural history with stunning natural beauty. A guided walking tour of Oranjestad offers a great introduction, where you can admire Dutch colonial architecture, browse local boutiques, and sample island cuisine. Don’t miss the Fort Zoutman Historical Museum or a trip north to see the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins and the Aloe Factory Museum. Just outside the capital, Eagle Beach and Palm Beach invite you to relax on powdery sand, while tucked-away coves, rock pools, and vibrant dive sites—like the shipwrecks of the Antilla and Jane Sea—offer more adventurous escapes.

For a change of scenery, head east to Arikok National Park, a rugged expanse covering nearly a fifth of the island. It’s a haven for hikers and nature lovers, teeming with local wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs, spotting turtles at Finger Reef, or soaking up the sun, Aruba’s mix of history, nature, and warm Caribbean charm makes it a destination worth planning for—especially during the busy high season from December to April.
