Start Day 1 by visiting Malmok Beach and spend a few hours swimming, sunbathing and taking in the beautiful scenery. Enjoy a mid-day lunch at The West Deck, which has amazing seafood and Caribbean cuisine. After lunch, head to the iconic California Lighthouse, originally built to warn ships of the rocky coast. Take in the stunning views of Aruba and watch the sunset from the lighthouse.
Head to Arikok National Park early in the morning to explore the natural beauty of Aruba. Hike to the Natural Pool, which is a stunning protected pool of water surrounded by rugged terrain. Bring your own snorkel gear or rent it near the pool and spend some time exploring the underwater world. After the hike, go to Baby Beach and enjoy a refreshing swim in the shallow, warm waters. End the day with dinner at Zeerover, a local fish shack that serves some of the freshest seafood around.
Start your day off in Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba, and explore the local culture by visiting the National Archaeological Museum Aruba or St. Ann's Catholic Church. Enjoy lunch at The Dutch Pancake House, which cooks up traditional Dutch pancakes with a Caribbean twist. Take a dip at Eagle Beach, which is known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, before ending your Aruba trip.
For those with more time, consider adding a visit to Palm Beach, known for its high-rise hotels and bustling nightlife. For those with less time, consider skipping the Natural Pool on Day 2 and spending more time at Baby Beach or Eagle Beach. Additionally, those who are interested in watersports should check out Hadicurari Beach, which is located near Malmok Beach and is known for its windsurfing and kitesurfing.
