Nurture your soul

Between all your exciting celebratory moments, take some time to slow down and reconnect with yourself and nature through one of the many wellness activities and eco adventures offered on Aruba. Skim the calm waters in a kayak or on a paddleboard amidst a mangrove forest, or hike through Arikok National Park while taking in breathtaking scenery of the island’s flora and fauna. Practice yoga and meditation on the beach at sunrise or sunset, or even take to the water with a SUP yoga class.

Soothing massages and skincare treatments rejuvenate the body and nourish the soul.

Inspired by nature, several spas offer signature treatments that feature some of nature’s healing ingredients, with some even sourced locally.

Romance is in the air
Whether celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, or making your dream destination wedding in paradise come true, romance blossoms on Aruba. Mother Nature created the perfect backdrop for romance with sun-kissed ivory beaches, pristine turquoise waters, brilliant sunsets, and twinkling night skies. Sunset sails, moonlit strolls, intimate candlelit dinners, quiet nightcaps, and couple’s massages are among the limitless romantic moments in Aruba awaiting lovers.
