Dark cocktails, hidden doors, custom remedies, and one of the most atmospheric nights out in Aruba.

Expect busier beaches, restaurants, and shopping areas.

STR Farm · Alto Vista

June 20

A Saturday morning favorite for fresh produce and island-made goods.

Aruba Loves You Pizzabar

Honestly, this is the best pizza on the island right now. No discussion.

Reflexions Beach Bar

Somewhere between beach club, pool party, and tropical daydream.

T2Pan Sourdough Boutique

People come for the almond croissant, then return for the bread, and another almond croissant.

Donkey Sanctuary

Come with apples and carrots. Leave with 130 new best friends.

Dushi Delicious Aruba

Eggs, fresh bread, slow mornings, and a little garden you do not expect from the street.

Alto Vista Walking Trail

Cactus trails, ocean views, and a quieter side of Aruba best explored outside the midday heat.

Peanuts Restaurant

One of the few places where tourists are usually outnumbered by locals.

Aruba Waterpark

11 slides, pools, shade, food, and enough screaming children to confirm everybody is having fun.

Mangel Halto

Mangroves and calm water. The beach for people bringing books instead of speakers.
