Aruba’s big draw is its sweeping desert landscapes and wonderful sandy beaches which are all public and free. It’s not hard to find a secluded spot near a craggy headland or gorgeous beach on a holiday in Aruba. No wonder that honeymoons in Aruba are popular. The beaches on the east side of the island are great for surfing. On the west side, the water is calmer and there is a coral reef – perfect for snorkelling and diving. Aruba is the smallest island in the Leeward group of the Dutch Caribbean islands in the southern Caribbean. The group is nicknamed the ABC islands. Aruba’s Dutch heritage is everywhere but the capital of Oranjestad is particularly distinct with its pastel-coloured gabled buildings and windmill. Aruba’s unofficial trademark is its distinctive divi-divi tree. They get blown by the winds and forced to grow at dramatic angles. You can easily drive round the island in a day on holiday in Aruba. It is an easy island to get to know and to love.
