Holidays in Aruba Island

An introduction to Aruba Island

If you bruise easily, it's only fair to warn you – you'll be pinching yourself at least three times a day on holidays to Aruba Island. Breaks don't get much dreamier than this.

Aruba Island holidays could well be the ultimate Caribbean experience. Close your eyes and think of the ideal Caribbean island and you'll probably come up with something very like Aruba. Acres of snow white, powder soft sand? Lapped by impossibly blue seas and skirted by shady palms? All topped off with oodles of thatched beach bars, classy casinos and swish hotels? That's Aruba alright. So get those large sunnies, loud shirts and little bikinis packed – your summer just got sorted.

Travel to Aruba Island and you're in for a serious lesson on the three Rs – retail, relaxation and roulette. This Antilles isle has been on the American hit list for decades – and where the dollar goes, luxury follows. Think malls lined with Vogue's favourite labels. Think spas so sumptuous the memories alone will set your skin tingling. Think glittering casinos wheeling and dealing well into the night. And for the latest in hotel luxury, look no further than the south and west coasts. What Aruba don't know about the high life ain't worth teaching.

But we all know you can't beat life's simple pleasures. Like settling back on warm white sands to top up that stunning tan. Like sailing out across the sun-speckled waves for a spot of exclusive snorkelling. Or simply sipping a cocktail - complete with paper parasol - and watching the setting sun. Holidays to Aruba Island - why do people ever go home?
