Aruba’s allure is obvious: Iridescent waters loaded with sunken wrecks, sugary beaches along its shores, and a remarkably arid outback to draw visitors inland. Add to this its pleasant year-long weather, cooling trade winds, and easy flight times and it’s easy to see why Aruba is one of the most popular Caribbean destinations.
Outside the hurricane belt, this popular package destination is blessed with implausibly good weather, high-rise resorts, glittery casinos, and frequent direct flights from the U.S.
