Another awesome island. This was an overdue trip with my sister for her 40th birthday. It did not disappoint because it’s…ONE HAPPY ISLAND. We stayed in Oranjestad off the harbor with access to the ever-popular Iguana + Flamingo Beaches. Both beaches are totally worth staying at Renaissance hotel to gain private access. 

Palm Beach, Aruba. Beach on the north west side of the island. Lots of water sport activities + this swimming dock. The country is beautiful. Safe, pedestrian friendly, eco conscious, clean + extremely diverse. 

Note, doing an island tour is worth the money. You get to see the island from the Butterfly Farm to the California Lighthouse.
