The waters surrounding the island of Aruba are known to provide some of the best sailing conditions in the world. With its 42 scuba diving sites, windsurfing, water-skiing and deep-sea fishing opportunities, this island is heaven for water lovers. Even if you aren't experienced in the water, you'll enjoy spending your Caribbean Island vacation on some of Aruba's more gentle, white sand beaches, such as Arashi Beach and Baby Beach.
The weather in Aruba is among the sunniest and driest in the Caribbean, and the island lies outside of the hurricane path, which contributes to the perfect outdoor weather year-round. For all that the surrounding waters offer, there certainly isn't a lack of activities inland, either. Many tourists like to spend time bird watching, hiking through Arikok National Park, golfing, and touring nearby coconut plantations.
Inland Aruba
As far as indoor activities in Aruba, you'll find lively nightlife and gambling at the casinos. A fun shopping excursion can be had at Seaport Village in the city of Oranjestad, where tourists can get an eyeful of a blend of Dutch and Arubian architecture. Shoppers can also find bargains in European porcelain, jewelry, perfumes, and clothing at some of the island's duty-free shops.
For Caribbean hotels and resorts in Aruba, try the all-inclusive Wyndham Aruba Beach Resort and Casino. The Radisson Aruba Beach Resort and Casino is also nice, with its luxurious environment, beautifully decorated rooms and zero entry, lagoon-style pools. Or, try Divi Village, which offers a balance that falls somewhere between the active lifestyle and peaceful quietness.
