Aruba Holidays

The Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba is situated outside the hurricane belt, less than 20 miles off the coast of South America. The island is blessed with year round sunshine and is a picture postcard destination with its white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. Much of the seven-mile strip along the west coast is lined with resorts and packed with activity. Beachgoers relax on their comfortable lounges, lost in their favourite book or enjoying people-watching. Swimming, snorkelling, kite surfing, waterskiing, tubing, parasailing, and banana-boating are just a few of the activities on offer.Aruba is popular for honeymooners but also a great family destination, thanks to its safe and friendly environment. Explore natural wonders throughout Arikok National Park, the Casibari and Ayo rock formations and Indian caves. Walk through history at the Bushiribana gold mill, Aruba Aloe Factory and Alto Vista Chapel. Kids will enjoy all the creatures at the Butterfly Farm, Ostrich Farm and Donkey Sanctuary. Some hotels offer a kids stay free programme and have a kids club.
