Aruba Vacations

Aruba is a classic Caribbean destination island, offering package holidays since the 1950s. Aruba, located just 27 km off the north coast of Venezuela, is an island of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. It features an unusual climate and landscape – dry, with cactus plants. It offers several well-known attractions and events that will keep travellers inspired. Eagle Beach, one of the main resort locations, is famous for having one of the best beaches in the world. Palm Beach, another focal point, features upscale hotels and shopping centres that are sure to please those in search of a premium package. For fun-filled events, the Bonbini Festival is a year-round folk festival celebrated every Tuesday in Fort Zoutman; the Caribbean Festival is held every Thursday night in downtown San Nicolas; while the Watapana Food and Art Festival is held every Wednesday on the festival grounds between the Hyatt Regency Resort and Casino and the Americana Allegro Aruba Beach Resort and Casino. At all of these great festivals, tourists can expect to find great food, music, dance, and craftworks. With so much to offer, it is no surprise that Aruba vacations appeal to honeymooners, couples, wind sporting enthusiasts, beach lovers, and those who can appreciate the many off-resort activity options.
