19 Best Hotels in Aruba

This stunning adults-only luxury boutique resort brings romance South Pacific–style to Savaneta with Aruba’s only overwater bungalows—which include two-story penthouse extravaganzas, inviting Bali bamboo-style beach houses and villas, and one unique two-story treehouse. Planned to be completed in early 2026 is a collection of small leisure lagoon bungalows surrounding a lazy river. All accommodations are meticulously hand-decorated by owner-artist Osyth Henriquez with treasures curated from her world travels. Luxe amenities abound like deep soaking tubs, personal Jacuzzis, private plunge pools, outdoor canopied beds, and for some bungalows, en-suite massage tables for private treatments. The property's signature restaurant, The Old Man and the Sea, is an ultra romantic dining option with tables in the sand and on overwater palapas. 

While the Tamarijn—Divi’s sister property—caters to all ages, this resort is favored more by couples and honeymooners. The newer tower has its own pool and bar and offers up some excellent sea views, and there are four super-luxe two-bedroom oceanfront suites with whirlpool tubs available only on this property. Guests at both resorts enjoy complimentary shuttle transportation to 11 dining options, 8 bars, 4 pools, nightly entertainment, and Alhambra Mall and Casino, as well as gorgeous Druif Beach. Updated amenities include an activities center for complimentary snorkels, floats, e-mountain bikes, and fitness classes; it's tucked beneath their modern sea-view fitness center and behind Aruba’s only climbing tower.

With incredible views from its high-rise tower, state-of-the-art amenities, and comfortable homey accommodations awash in tropical colors, Divi Aruba Phoenix rises above the fray on busy Palm Beach. Families will appreciate the kids' pool and beautiful beach flanked with man-made breakwaters, while adults will love the adult-only sea-view hot tub, lively swim-up pool bar, and the private second floor Zen deck. The resort’s trendy purebeach restaurant offers a popular bar and alfresco dining while pureocean restaurant offers toes-in-the-sand dining with sweeping ocean views. A New York–style deli, tennis courts, fitness center, luxurious spa, and on-site shops round out the amenities. It's also right across the street from The Butterfly Farm. 

This resort's massive lemon-yellow buildings that sprawl across a pristine stretch of Palm Beach offer a revelation compared to what most might think a Holiday Inn stay might entail—inviting rooms, a fun vibe, and distinct sections that will appeal to those looking for quiet active fun or a family-friendly environment. The rooms, though not luxe, feel fresh and higher floor options can offer impressive sea views. But it’s the design of the outdoor areas that impress the most, with inviting water circuits seamlessly spilling onto one of the best sea swimming spots on Palm Beach, largely because it's completely cordoned off from noisy motorized water sports. On-site dining is also a cut above, with spots like Da Vinci Ristorante and Agave Mexican Cuisine. All-inclusive and bed-and-breakfast plans are available.  

The flagship of Iberostar's JOIA brand, this three-story hotel overlooks the famous Eagle Beach and has spacious accommodations decorated in light wood tones.

Special features include a gorgeous adult-only rooftop infinity pool with a lounge and bar area, one adult-only dedicated Star Prestige Club member pool, and one family-friendly pool with a swim-up bar. On-site dining includes 24/7 room service, Marea for Caribbean fusion, and Bucatini Market & Cucina for breakfast and Italian dinners, with a steakhouse in the works.  At the time of this writing, the property has also taken ownership of the Tierra del Sol golf course and renovating it. Special deals and shuttles for guests will be offered soon. 

Having received a major multimillion-dollar refresh in 2021, the interiors of this popular all-inclusive sister to Divi Aruba almost rival the stellar sea scenes you’ll discover mere steps from each oceanfront room. The latest dining option for all-inclusive guests has propelled this legacy property into a more cosmopolitan era: opened in late 2024, the seafront Club Margot offers a family-style three-course menu comprised of Caribbean and international flavors, including a decadent surprise dessert. Complimentary fitness classes, tennis, pickleball, snorkel equipment, e-mountain bikes, and access to Indulgence by the Sea spa on-site add to the multitude of activity options.

This full-service resort offers both family-friendly amenities and one adults-only top-level floor with its own pool, as well as guestrooms that are being modernized for the 2026 high season. Lots of organized activities, a seaside water circuit and pool bar, and a children’s playground offer something for all ages. Its beach has very kid-friendly surf and every kind of water sport imaginable. On-site dining includes a romantic toes-in-the-sand experience, a modern high-end steak house, and a snazzy seafront eatery focusing on Mediterranean specialties. Live music and killer cocktails at the Lobby Bar and entertainment at the 24/7 casino within also keep this indoor space hopping at night.

Operating like a small village unto itself, this all-suites, five-story, horseshoe-shaped time-share resort provides an ideal environment for families, with a kids' pool and colorful beachfront playground. Located on a gorgeous 600-foot circle of sand, there's a large pool and water circuit replete with whirlpools and fountains. One-, two-, and three-bedroom bright and spacious suites and premium suites also have balcony decks with hot tubs and barbecue grills. There are lighted tennis and pickleball courts, too. 

This resort is a bright, contemporary alternative to the high-rise hotels of Palm Beach for business travelers and budget-conscious families, with recently renovated rooms that have modern amenities and spacious rain showers.

Allegra Bistro, an indoor-outdoor restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (eat outside to enjoy regular live entertainment around the pool); Delia’s Terrace bar serves cocktails, specialty coffees, and fruit shakes; and a small 24/7 Grab and Go market provides snacks and extras. On site is a small spa and 24/7 fitness center, and the free shuttle to their designated Palm Beach area delivers guests to complimentary lounges right beside the St. Regis hotel’s beachfront. Some big resort casinos, as well as a number of dining options around the Old Dutch Windmill, are within walking distance.

All the rooms at this all-suites golf resort community across the street from Druif Beach include fully equipped kitchens, but an all-inclusive option is also available with access and shuttles to sister resorts Tamarijn, Divi Aruba, and Divi Dutch Village. Those seeking the ultimate in luxury can book one of the golf villas that directly overlook the course and have private rooftop Jacuzzis and private grills. A large family-friendly pool has waterslides and waterfalls. Other amenities include a 9-hole golf course, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a modern fitness center, four restaurants, and a sports bar. A breakfast plan is also available.

One of the few high-rise resorts in the Eagle Beach area, this sprawling property opened its doors in 2023 with modern, smartly designed efficiency suites decorated in Caribbean color accents and food and beverage options provided by the brand's signature Brickstone outlets. Outside, a massive expanse of pool and lounging areas are catered to by the Splash Grill and stand-alone pool bar and can accommodate large groups with ease. For the top level of luxury, book a corner suite on the highest floor for wrap-around balconies and extra space. Though not right on the beach, ocean views from higher levels are spectacular, and nature views facing the marshlands are unique. Room service is also available.

This family-friendly all-inclusive is a massive complex surrounding an expansive beachfront water circuit with a choice of five restaurants and scads of free activities. Rooms are spacious and nicely appointed, but for extra luxury book a Jacuzzi suite. Though they discourage spring break–style partiers, the vibe is always very high-energy, loud, and lively. Right next door, adults can enjoy the Orchid Casino and join the famous RIU brand theme parties at the sister resort, Hotel Riu Palace Antillas.

Located on 12 acres of prime beachfront, this landmark resort celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2025 with a resort-wide transformation, which included the addition of Piccolo, the island’s first official kosher steak house (formerly Ruinas del Mar), spacious sunset studios with floor-to-ceiling balcony doors, and a “Governor’s Suite\" with a kitchenette and three different balconies. Children adore the three-level pool complex with a two-story waterslide, while those without kids can escape to Trankilo, a luxurious adults-only pool with private cabanas. A deluxe spa, fitness center, tennis courts, casino, and Camp Watapana for kids round out the offerings. Those seeking additional perks can upgrade to a Regency Club access level room with its private lounge. 

This complex of mostly time-share units located across the street from a gorgeous Eagle Beach front draws families and small groups for everything needed for a home-away-from-home vibe, including fully equipped kitchens. Good dining outlets and a glitzy casino are also on site.

One of Aruba's original low-rise resorts, Manchebo is now best known as a dedicated health and wellness boutique resort with daily complimentary seafront yoga, Pilates classes, and lots of healthy culinary choices. Premium all-inclusive packages also available.   Try to snag the spacious one-bedroom second floor corner suite—here's only one, but it's spectacular.

Spacious suites attract families and groups to this downtown resort that offers its own man-made beach on the sea and free water taxis to its lovely private island just minutes away. On-site dining is limited, but there's a free shuttle to the sister marina property for fine dining, and it's also a few steps from the Renaissance Marketplace with lots of food and drink choices. Its location between the cruise-ship port and the airport makes it an interesting place to plane-spot and ship-watch as well. All-inclusive plans are available.

The high standards of Ritz-Carlton properties are well represented at the Aruba property with rooms that have private balconies, and ocean-view rooms that offer sweeping vistas of the Caribbean. Parents seeking a break will appreciate the range of distracting activities available from Ritz Kids, which includes an ocean learning program curated by the son of Jacques Cousteau. The resort is expansive, so it never feels crowded, and despite the numerous entertainment options available, including one of the best casinos on the island, peace and quiet are easily found. The spa is one of the largest on the island and offers a full range of treatments. The excellent two-story glassed-in lobby bar is perfect for sunsets. Club Level guests (7th floor) have private lounge and daily food and beverage offerings.

Riu bought this property, formerly the Westin Hotel, in 2014, right next door to its other Palm Beach family-friendly all-inclusive Riu Palace. But this one is rare for Aruba: an adults-only all-inclusive, though more are planned in the future. The tower structure is not a typical Riu design, but sea views from most rooms are great, and the Westin’s original pool area and water circuit is extensive. A bonus is that guests at the adults-only can also avail themselves of all the facilities next door at the sister resort, giving them far more choices of dining, entertainment, and activities. And it also has its own nightclub.
