Aruba couples & adult-only holidays

Best activities in Aruba for couples

This "One Happy Island" offers a multitude of opportunities to celebrate a special occasion, enflame that romantic spark or rekindle love. Connect with each other on a luxuriously sun-drenched beach. Leave those mobile phones behind, disconnect from the world, and allow the rays to wash over you. As those muscles relax, let your day-to-day worries dissipate and turn the conversation to each other.

For the more adventurous take a trip to one of the many natural pools to be found on the island. Time it right by setting out early or later in the day and you will miss the crowds and may even find yourselves swimming in your own "private" lagoon.

To guarantee some quality couple time alone, consider hiring your own sailing boat for a sunset cruise. Sip champagne whilst watching the stunning natural entertainment as your crew discretely manoeuvres you around the Island. Following that round off the evening with a romantic beachside dinner for two. The perfect end to a perfect day.

Most romantic destinations in Aruba

Whilst undoubtedly the small island of Aruba can sometimes seem overwhelmed with tourists, those seeking some romantic, quiet space will not be disappointed.

California Beach or California Dunes in Arasji and on the Northern tip of the Island offers rolling white sands interspersed with aloes and cactuses. Only accessible on foot, pack a picnic and seek out your own private secluded hollow from which to relax and enjoy some amazing views.

For a more active experience, dig out some hiking shoes and head to the 7,907-acre Arikok National Park. Take to the well-signposted trails and explore historic sights, whilst observing interesting wildlife and native plants, all guaranteed to spark conversation and create shared memories.

De Palm Island is a couple’s favourite. Relaxing beaches vie with fun activities to provide romantic experiences. Sunbathe, swim or snorkel, cling to each other whilst riding a banana boat or share an indulgent spa treatment session together. Whatever you choose, Aruba will ensure that your love will blossom.

Best adult-only hotels in Aruba

For those seeking an adult-only experience within a tropical, Caribbean environment we recommend the all inclusive Riu Palace Antillas Hotel situated on the very shores of Palm Beach. This over eighteens only hotel is all about relaxation with its own private part of the beach bedecked in free loungers, umbrellas and towels. If sand in your toes doesn't appeal, then the same facilities can be found around its fantastic swimming pool.

For those wanting to discover each other further, the hotel offers the chance to try out supervised windsurfing, snorkelling kayaking and even diving; what better way to get closer than sharing a new experience together! After all that excitement, take advantage of your free, unlimited local or imported drinks that are available 24 hours a day, before sampling some world cuisine available at one of four themed restaurants. Don’t worry - breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included in your price. For those with some energy left take to the dancefloor, watch a show or try your luck in the casino.

Whilst they aren't fully adult-only hotels, Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino have adult-only areas to enjoy.
