Why Aruba
There are destinations that you choose to escape, and others that you choose so as not to make a mistake. Aruba is both at the same time. A small country that makes up the Kingdom of the Netherlands, this 32-kilometre island 27 km off the Venezuelan coast is not an exotic whim: it is a well-established, reliable seaside destination, built for uncomplicated happiness.
What distinguishes Aruba from the rest of the Caribbean can be summed up in two irrefutable arguments. The first: the island is outside the cyclone zone. Located south of the hurricane belt, at 12° north latitude, it has never been hit by a major cyclone in its history. You can go there in August as serenely as in January. The second: the sun. The trade winds blow constantly from the east, preventing the heat from being stifling and limiting clouds. The result: more than 300 days of sunshine per year, temperatures that never drop below 25°C and one of the lowest rainfall in the Caribbean.
Between Eagle Beach, regularly ranked among the ten most beautiful beaches in the world, the snorkeling coves of the west coast, the cactus-covered hills of Arikok Park and the festive atmosphere of Palm Beach, Aruba deploys a surprisingly varied palette for such a small island. It's a stay that you return with the impression of having had it all: sea, nature, Caribbean culture and comfort.
