As local hosts at Your Aruba Home, we share the places, practical details, and island experiences we genuinely recommend to our guests.
Day 1 - Settle into the north
Stock up at Super Food Plaza, unpack, and take an easy first swim. Finish with sunset at Arashi or the California Lighthouse.
Day 2 - Beach-hop the west coast
Start at Boca Catalina or Arashi while the morning is quiet. Continue to Eagle Beach, then choose lively Palm Beach or a slow dinner at home.
Day 3 - Arikok and the rugged coast
Give the national park a full day. A guided excursion is the easiest way to understand the landscape and approach remote places responsibly.
Day 4 - South coast flavors
Drive toward Mangel Halto and Baby Beach, stopping for local lunch or fresh seafood. Follow current water conditions.
Day 5 - Choose your island mood
Sail or snorkel with a guide, visit Aruba Aloe and Alto Vista Chapel, or enjoy an unplanned resort day. End with a sunset dinner.
Make it yours
This is a starting point, not a checklist. Leave room for a longer lunch, an unexpected beach stop, and an afternoon by the pool.
