Top Reasons to Plan Your Caribbean Family Vacation in Aruba

When you are planning a family vacation in the Caribbean, you have hundreds of islands to choose from. While all of the islands offer sunshine and beautiful beaches, not all offer a family-friendly atmosphere. Bring your family to Aruba and experience the perfect blend of safety, convenience, kid-friendly beaches, diverse activities for all ages, and family-friendly lodging. Choose Blue Aruba Rentals as your lodging partner and support a local business that has been providing vacation rental homes on the island for more than 15 years. Read on to learn why Aruba is the perfect family vacation destination!

Family-Friendly Beaches

Aruba’s beautiful beaches offer the perfect setting for kids of all ages to play and swim. Destinations like Baby Beach are a family favorite because of the shallow water and calm waves. Plus, many of our vacation rentals are located near Eagle Beach, the widest beach on the island, offering plenty of space for your family to spread out and enjoy watersports. 

Safety

Get Off the Beaten Path: Unique Things to Do in Aruba

Aruba’s world-famous sandy beaches are a big draw for tourists. But there is much more to our island than just relaxing on the beach. We are also home to a rich history, diverse culture, a vibrant arts scene, and gorgeous landscapes. Get off the beaten path and discover several unique things to do in Aruba during your vacation. From the breathtaking caves of Arikok National Park to the vibrant murals lining the streets of San Nicolas, there is something for everyone to discover. Stay with Blue Aruba Rentals and enjoy an unparalleled guest experience from local experts who live and work in the area.

7 Unique Things to Do in Aruba

  1. Making up nearly 20% of the island, Arikok National Park is home to several unique attractions and cultural heritage sites. Ask a ranger for a tour of Fontein Cave or Quadirikiri Cave and see rock drawings, stalagmites, and stalactites. 
  2. Also, in Arikok, you can visit the Historic Gold Mines and see the remnants of the island’s gold rush history. 
  3. If you are looking for scenic beaches away from the crowds, we recommend heading to Dos Playa Beach or Boca Prins within the National Park. The water can be quite rough here, so these beaches are best for relaxing and taking in Aruba's natural beauty. 
  4. Spend a day in San Nicolas on the island's southeast end and stroll the streets admiring the city's murals. Make sure to stop for a drink at Charlie’s Bar while you’re here and support one of the island's longest-running businesses. 
  5. One of the best ways to get off the beaten path is on a UTV vehicle. Sign up for a UTV adventure with De Palm Tours and see the best sightseeing spots on the island from the eyes of a local.  
  6. Near the California Lighthouse, the Sasarawichi Dunes are a unique place to explore on foot and take in views of Aruba’s varied landscapes. 
  7. Before cars, donkeys were the primary mode of transportation on the island. Today, many of these donkeys now reside at the Donkey Sanctuary, where you can visit, pet, cuddle, and hug one of their adorable donkeys.
