During a recent fam trip hosted by Aruba Tourism UK, I had the opportunity to visit some of Aruba's finest hotels.

While every property offered something unique, one hotel stood out above the rest: Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba.

This adults-only boutique retreat is tucked away within a former coconut plantation just moments from Palm Beach. With colourful private casitas, tropical gardens, hammocks, two beautiful pools and an atmosphere of complete tranquillity, it's easy to see why the hotel has earned Two Michelin Keys and international recognition.

What I loved most was the balance. The hotel feels intimate and secluded without feeling isolated. It offers all the charm of a boutique property whilst still providing plenty of space to relax and unwind.

Breakfast at The Coco Café was fantastic, and the hotel's dedicated beach area on Palm Beach was equally impressive. Guests can enjoy comfortable loungers and reserved palapas on one of the quieter sections of Aruba's most famous beach, accessible by a short walk or complimentary buggy ride.

Combined with Aruba's year-round sunshine, location outside the hurricane belt, award-winning tap water, welcoming atmosphere and easy access from the UK via Amsterdam with KLM, it's a destination that deserves serious consideration.

Boardwalk perfectly captures the spirit of Aruba's famous slogan: One Happy Island.
