If you tire of enjoying the amazing beach, there are lots of other wonderful activities to partake in, such as eating out, dancing, adventure activities and shopping. Guess what — this isn’t just a dream. It’s Aruba — and it’s waiting for you to explore all it has to offer!

Aruba is a tropical paradise located in the Caribbean 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela. Around 100,000 people call Aruba their home. The island measures about 20 miles long and 6 miles wide, and although it may seems small, you will be amazed at all the features can pack into such a small space!

This little known Caribbean paradise offers travelers everything they could possibly want or need in a tropical getaway. Not only are there the wonderful beaches, there are lots of other attractions as well! If you’re athletic, go surfing or para sailing. There is no need to limit your adventure to the shore why not try scuba diving or snorkeling? This could be the perfect place to learn how to dive, there are many good dive schools on the island. You can even try an innovative cross between the two called snuba!

However if you’re not much of an underwater enthusiast, there are plenty of other activities to do on dry-land. Take a romantic horse ride down the beach at sunset or go on a trek in the interior. Why not rent a Harley Davidson and unleash your inner born again biker spirit, remember to take your driving licence! Love golf? Aruba offers a variety of wonderful courses to cater for all ability levels for golfers to enjoy. If you’re a fisherman, then there’s no shortage of opportunities in that area. Some local restaurants will even clean and cook your catch for you. You just can’t get any fresher than that!

The nightlife in Aruba is an attraction in itself. If you like music and dancing with an exotic island flair, check out Mambo Jambo or Cafe Bahia. However, if energetic techno is more your clubbing style, try Muzika or La Fiesta. Maybe you’re not much of a dancer and just want to hang out and listen to great live music. If this sounds like you, then you can’t miss Soprano’s, Scandals and Garuffa.

And don’t forget the cuisine! If you love to eat (and who doesn’t) there are a variety of gastronomical delights waiting for you on Aruba. Enjoy local cooking such as freshly caught seafood with a Caribbean flair at one of the many restaurants. If you’re homesick for fast food, never fear. Aruba offers a variety of familiar chain restaurants like Taco Bell and McDonalds.

If you love to shop, then you’ll love this Aruban paradise! Fine crystal, jewelry, clothes and locally made products are just a few of the items offered for purchase on this island!

When it comes to places to stay, you have several choices. Stay at a luxurious high rise that offers amenities like room and spa services. Or, go native and spend your stay in a cozy cottage on the beach!
