Palm Beach is a resort area on the northern coast of Aruba, a Dutch Caribbean island. It’s known for its calm waters and long sandy strip lined with bars and restaurants. To its south, lush Bubali Bird Sanctuary has an observation tower and is home to herons and other migratory birds. Nearby are the Old Dutch Windmill, imported in the 1960s, and the Butterfly Farm, with free-flying butterflies in a jungle enclosure.

Aruba offers many options for sleeping arrangements. There are both hotels in downtown as well as on the beach. Some of the Hotels include; a Holiday Inn, Marriot, as well as some small local places. There is a Holiday Inn located next to the Marriot in which they share the same beach (Palm Beach). However, the Marriot is the only resort that offers a timeshare within their premise. There are two timeshare "clubs" apart of the Marriot. One is the Ocean Club which has been around for quite some time. The second is the Surf Club which was built in more recent years. The Marriot includes three swim up bars and a lazy river as well as two gyms and a casino.
The Divi Resorts in Aruba consist of three individual resorts. The Divi Aruba Phoenix, which is located in the Palm Beach area closer to nightlife and shopping. The Divi Village Golf and Beach Resort is located right across from Eagle Beach and around a golf course. The Divi Village has luxury suites and private villas available for stay. The Divi Dutch Village is right on Eagle Beach with an all-inclusive option available. Every room is equipped with a kitchen and living room; many rooms even have balconies with garden views. Together, Divi has 10+ pools, full beach access, access to pool games, golf, tennis, spas, 12 restaurants, and 11 bars. |
Best months to Visit Palm Beach
The best time to visit Aruba is from April to August — a huge window of time when the island's high prices take a holiday. And since the island sits well outside the hurricane belt, there's very little threat of tropical storms at this time. January to March features pleasant weather, but the room prices can soar.

Palm Beach is a tourism district about 6 kilometers northwest of Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba. A number of high rise hotels are located there, such as Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino, Aruba Marriott Resort, Occidental Grand Aruba, Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort, Ritz Carlton Resort, and RIU palace Aruba. A shopping district adjacent to the hotels was finished in 2009, called Palm Beach Plaza Mall. Little North of Palm Beach is Malmok Beach, a small sandy strip running all the way until the northern tip of Aruba. Smaller apartment complexes and luxurious holiday homes are located along this dead-end Boulevard. Hadicurari Beach (kiting), Arashi Beach and Boca Catalina (snorkeling) are popular location.
The renowned two-mile-long strip known as Palm Beach Aruba* is home to glamorous high-rise hotels in Aruba and dotted by water sports concessions, piers, beach bars, restaurants and shops. Calm waters make this a comfortable haven for swimmers and snorkelers.
A walk along the coast at dawn or sunset is perfect for exercise and quiet reflection during your Caribbean vacation. Taking in the magnificent tangerine sunset or enjoying candle-lit, barefoot dining on the beach in Aruba can be the perfect finale to a lazy or exciting day of sun and sea. |
