Aruba: Nightlife

Aruba's casinos, dance clubs, shows, bars, and beachfront lounges are widely regarded as some of the Caribbean's best, and are just some of the options that keep night owls – from partying spring-breakers to letting-loose lawyers – going till dawn. L.G. Smith Boulevard, along the harbor in Oranjestad, is packed with bars, making for a convenient bar crawl. We've highlighted some of our favorite nightspots both in the capital and beyond to help you make the most of your evening hours here.
