Do you dream of azure waters and expansive white beaches? Can you already picture yourself sitting under the Divi Divi tree (that beautifully slanted, windswept tree)? Then it's time to book a ticket to A of the ABC Islands. This American-minded Caribbean island offers both relaxation and adventure! Explore Aruba and seek out the hidden coves in the pristine north, immerse yourself in the colorful underwater world, or be an adventurer in Arikok National Park, where you can enjoy the spectacular scenery and the abundance of flora and fauna. For the sporty type who loves a good view, climbing the Jamanota or Arikok hill is highly recommended. For more challenging and active fun, try windsurfing or kitesurfing.

But doing absolutely nothing is also perfectly fine on Aruba! You can choose one of the large and incredibly luxurious beachfront resorts or the charming Boardwalk Small Hotel where we stayed. Either way, this is the island to settle in with fantastic food and cocktails on the beach! There are plenty of great spots to discover on the island. Yes, this island has it all. In this Aruba Travel Guide, we've compiled the best tips for you!
