Aruba

The journey begins

Private jet to Aruba

Wide beaches, desert-like landscapes and a compact island itinerary make Aruba a natural choice for a relaxed Caribbean stay.

Where to land for Aruba

Queen Beatrix International Airport is the island's principal air gateway. Arrange the ground transfer around the hotel: the beach areas and Oranjestad are different arrival destinations, even on a compact island.

The operating carrier should confirm aircraft suitability, handling, permissions and the onward transfer for your itinerary.

What to do in Aruba

Spend time on Eagle Beach, then explore the island beyond the resort coast. Arikok offers a more rugged landscape, while Oranjestad brings waterfront streets and shopping into the itinerary. Keep a beach day separate from a longer island drive.

Best time to visit Aruba

January–April for a winter beach escape; trade winds are common, and the island is relatively dry. October–December tends to bring more rain.
