What you’ll do

A week in Aruba is a great amount of time to fully experience and enjoy all that the island has to offer. This carefully curated itinerary is designed to help you make the most of your week-long adventure, covering all the must-visit attractions as well as hidden gems that often go unnoticed.

To ensure a truly unforgettable experience, I have also handpicked an accommodation located right on the beach, offering convenient access to stunning coastal vistas, as well as being in close proximity to incredible dining options.

Get ready to embark on an incredible journey filled with exploration, relaxation, and the vibrant culture of Aruba

Welcome to the sunny shores of Aruba, the "One Happy Island". Upon arrival in Aruba, choose between a convenient taxi ride from the airport or the freedom of renting a car. Settle into your beachfront oasis at the luxurious Marriott Resort, nestled in the heart of Palm Beach. This prime location ensures easy access to the island's finest attractions, shops, and dining establishments.

If time permits, indulge in the beauty of the endless beach strip that stretches before you. Take a refreshing dip in the inviting waters, partake in thrilling water activities, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll along the shore. For an exciting water adventure, make your way to Aruba Surf & Paddle School, where you can rent a paddleboard and explore the crystal-clear waters together. No prior experience necessary!

As the day draws to a close, prepare to be captivated by a breathtaking sunset at Eagle Beach, a sight that will leave you in awe. Don't forget to seize the opportunity to capture the iconic Fofoti trees in all their splendor, standing proudly in front of Amsterdam Manor Hotel.

For a delightful dinner, head to Quinta del Carmen. This historic restaurant in a century-old building offers delicious food.
