Aruba

A 7,900-acre nature reserve covering nearly one-fifth of Aruba's land area, featuring a volcanic landscape of dramatic black rocks, deep ravines, and the island's highest point at Mount Jamanota, home to native divi-divi trees and rare rock iguanas.

A child-friendly beach on Aruba's southeastern coast, shaped like a crescent and enclosed by a natural rock breakwater that creates an exceptionally shallow, warm, and calm lagoon safe for toddlers and beginner swimmers.

Aruba's only fully functioning lighthouse, standing at 33 metres on the northwestern tip of the island near the California Sand Dunes, named after the ship SS California that sank nearby in 1891.

Aruba's most dramatic natural landscape, a field of white and orange calcium carbonate sand dunes on the windward northwestern coast, created by ocean currents and shifting with each major storm, adjacent to the California Lighthouse.

Aruba's widest and most iconic white-sand beach, known for the distinctive fofoti trees that arch over its shore and the calm, shallow waters that make it ideal for families and swimmers of all ages.

Aruba's colourful capital, a Dutch colonial port city where pastel-painted Art Deco buildings line the main waterfront boulevard and the cruise ship terminal brings thousands of visitors daily to duty-free shops and restaurants.
