Where to Stay in Aruba

Aruba is small enough that no area is ever far from the beach — the real question is which part of the island fits your trip.

We're working on a partnership with Airbnb to bring hand-picked stays for each area below straight into this page. Nothing is bookable here yet — check back soon.

Best area for you

Palm Beach, Aruba
First-time visitors, nightlife, walkable dining

Palm Beach

The resort strip — big beachfront hotels, casinos, and restaurants an easy walk from a calm, protected swimming beach.

Eagle Beach, Aruba
Couples, families, more space

Eagle Beach

Wider and quieter than Palm Beach, with some of the best sand on the island and the famous fofoti trees.

Malmok, Aruba
Snorkelers and divers, a quieter base

Malmok

North of the hotel strip and closer to the island's calmest snorkeling coves. Fewer restaurants within walking distance, more peace.

Oranjestad, Aruba
Local culture, food, budget-friendly stays

Oranjestad

The capital — colorful Dutch-Caribbean streets, local eats, and shopping, with the beaches a short drive away.

De Palm, Aruba
Watersports access, a central base

De Palm

Central to the hotel strip and a short hop from De Palm Island's watersports pier.
