A classic beach destination with a Mediterranean twist, your holidays to Antigua will present you with a stunning mix of Caribbean charm and constant sunshine.
The Dutch Caribbean Island of Aruba lies 15 miles north of the South American coastline, benefitting from year-round sunshine, an average temperature of 32 degrees, and a cooling breeze. Located on the edge of the hurricane belt, with a nine-mile stretch of award-winning pristine beach, turquoise seas, colonial Dutch architecture, and a Latin vibe, Aruba is a delightful alternative Caribbean experience.
An adventure in Aruba is most often found in discovering the unexpected. Visitors to the island delight in the amenities of world-class hotels, stunning beaches, constant sunshine, and dramatic scenery.
The sophistication of the leeward side is rivalled only by the dramatic natural and historic sites that can be found throughout the island, especially on the windward face. The back roads of Aruba take travellers past eerie rock formations, cacti, and the famous divi-divi trees. Further along the rugged environs of the islands’ cactus-studded landscapes, past the world-famous white sand, and palm-fringed beaches, there also lays the rolling patch of green golf courses that promise an adventure of a different sort. Dive under the sea, and visitors are transported to another world, one populated by numerous tropical fish, bountiful coral, and even a shipwreck or two.
Complementing a day of discovery is a night of excitement with action in the island’s casinos, showrooms, and nightclubs. Pair an evening escape with a visit to one of the many fine restaurants and enjoy a gourmet dining experience in Aruba’s relaxed atmosphere.
One of the island's greatest assets is its people, whose warm, welcoming smiles greet visitors at every turn. Hospitality remains a strongly engrained tradition. Arubans gladly share their island and its unique culture, which is well displayed in folkloric festivals, art exhibitions, and during a joyous carnival season.
