Aruba: Tips

Plan your trip with the lunar calendar in mind Every month an all-out hedonistic bash takes place on the night of the full moon at the Havana Beach Club.

You can drink the water No need to stock up on bottled water or get stuck with an absurd mini-bar bill. Aruba’s water comes from a massive desalination plant and is entirely safe to drink.

Beware the winds Gale-force-like winds, though awesome for sailing, blow Aruba’s famous powder-soft sand all over beach bathers; strong gusts also make for a challenging golf game.
