An island in the Caribbean Sea, Aruba is known as one of the best vacation destinations in the world, especially for beach vacations and honeymooners. If you’re lucky enough to make your way over there, here are the things that we recommend doing and seeing while you’re on the island.

Go to the Beach

In case it wasn’t obvious, the main thing you’ll want to do in Aruba is enjoy the beaches, which are known for their perfect, pillow-soft sand. On the agenda should be Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, Divi Beach, and Manchebo Beach, where you can swim, snorkel, lay out in the sun, and windsurf.

Check out Oranjestad

All you need to do is see one photo of Oranjestad to be convinced that it’s worth visiting. The charming capital of Aruba is full of pastel buildings with Dutch colonial, Spanish, and Caribbean architecture, and lots of shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums to keep you entertained.

Visit the Butterfly Farm

With hundreds of exotic butterfly species from all over the world, the Butterfly Farm in Oranjestad is a must-see, with marvels to offer for visitors of any age. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture this magical experience!
