Palm Beach featuring a beach

Palm Beach

Palm Beach blends pristine white sand beaches with high-rise resorts for the ultimate Aruba experience. Visit the beachfront casinos, shop at colourful Paseo Herencia mall, or spot exotic birds at nearby Bubali Bird Sanctuary. After sunset, the area transforms with neon lights, live music, and beachside cocktails. Walk between resorts and shopping centers on palm-lined boulevards or hop on a taxi to city centre Oranjestad. Dining options range from resort restaurants serving international cuisine to casual beach grills with fresh seafood. Most visitors stay in oceanfront hotels with pools and direct beach access.

Watching the sailing boats glide across the water backlit by the setting sun at this rather low-key place on Aruba is an awesome way to end the day.
