Why Aruba?
Aruba is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. The island is part of the ABC islands, just off the coast of Venezuela, where a sunny and warm climate prevails all year round. Aruba is known for its stunning nature, such as Eagle Beach with its famous Fofoti tree (chosen by Tripadvisor as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!) and the rugged east coast with its coral reefs and lush cactus deserts. And because Aruba is part of the Dutch Antilles, the everyday language here—alongside Spanish and Papiamento—is simply Dutch!
5 things to do in Aruba
1. Stay at the romantic Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is located just 5 kilometers from Oranjestad, the capital of the island. In the morning, you and your new husband can take a refreshing dip in the pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea, followed by a delicious luxury breakfast buffet. There are also several romantic activities you and your partner-to-be can enjoy. For example, you can have dinner on the beach, watch a movie under the stars, ... Pure quality time together!
2. Jeep Safari Island Tour
Looking for something a bit more adventurous? The Jeep Safari Island Tour takes you to the wild Arikok National Park on the east side of Aruba. The nature reserve features rugged rock formations and limestone caves where you can even swim! In contrast to the pearl-white beaches of the west coast, the flora and fauna here consist of centuries-old cacti, plenty of lizards, and colorful birds.
3. Monteforty luxury cruise
Go on a luxury cruise with your partner and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the sea. Relax together in a hammock, discover the stunning marine life while snorkeling, or go kayaking in the crystal-blue ocean. The Monteforty luxury cruise is a romantic getaway with exotic snacks and drinks on board.
4. Papiamento Noord
Papiamento Noord is Aruba’s most renowned restaurant. Imagine the two of you in a movie set, at an exclusive table by the magically lit pool. The trees are decorated with beautiful lanterns, and flowers and candles serve as dazzling eye-catchers. Here you’ll taste authentic Aruban cuisine in the most idyllic setting.
5. Windows on Aruba
Windows on Aruba is a restaurant located up high, offering a fairytale view of the island. You mainly come here for an amazing brunch. For one price, you can order various dishes as you like, such as Eggs Benedict with salmon, caviar, and Hollandaise sauce, or the Pan Bolo, a typical Antillean bread pudding. All accompanied by a few glasses of Mimosa: prosecco topped up with freshly squeezed fruit juice. A true recommendation to start your day in a romantic way!
