The island where the forecast is always “perfect.”
Aruba sits just off the coast of Venezuela and outside the hurricane belt, which means warm, breezy, rain-free days nearly every month of the year. A steady trade wind keeps the heat comfortable, so your group spends its days in the water instead of hiding from it.
Mornings mean wading out to flamingos on a private beach. Afternoons are for snorkeling a sunken WWII shipwreck or bouncing a 4×4 through the cactus-studded backcountry. By sunset, everyone is on a catamaran with a cold drink, watching the sky go orange over the sea. It’s easy, it’s joyful, and it earns its nickname: One Happy Island.
Six things your team will talk about for years
Swim with the flamingos
Wade into the shallows of a private island beach where pink flamingos stroll right up to you.
Sink your toes into Eagle Beach
Regularly ranked among the best beaches in the world, framed by the island’s famous windswept divi-divi trees.
Snorkel a WWII shipwreck
The Antilla is one of the largest wrecks in the Caribbean, sitting in clear, calm water just offshore.
Off-road to the Natural Pool
Bounce through Arikok National Park by 4×4 to a hidden pool carved into volcanic rock by the sea.
Sail into the sunset
A private catamaran, an open bar and a sky that turns every shade of orange. A group favorite, every time.
Stroll pastel Oranjestad
Candy-colored Dutch colonial buildings, open-air cafés and boutique shopping in the island’s capital.
Honestly? Any month.
Highs sit in the mid-80s all year and rain is rare. December through April is peak season, when the island is buzzing. For groups, May through November is the sweet spot: same sunshine, fewer crowds and noticeably better rates.
Easy to get to
Nonstop flights from many major U.S. cities, and U.S. dollars are accepted almost everywhere.
Effortless for everyone
English is widely spoken, the island is safe and walkable, and the beaches are calm enough for every swimmer.
Room to celebrate
Beachfront resorts made for awards dinners under the stars and buyouts of an entire catamaran.
