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
The resort strip — big beachfront hotels, casinos, and restaurants an easy walk from a calm, protected swimming beach.
Eagle Beach
Wider and quieter than Palm Beach, with some of the best sand on the island and the famous fofoti trees.
Malmok
North of the hotel strip and closer to the island's calmest snorkeling coves. Fewer restaurants within walking distance, more peace.
Oranjestad
The capital — colorful Dutch-Caribbean streets, local eats, and shopping, with the beaches a short drive away.
De Palm
Central to the hotel strip and a short hop from De Palm Island's watersports pier.
