At the edge of Aruba’s northwestern shore, overlooking the white sands and azure waters that have long lured travellers from around the globe, stands The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba. It’s a beacon of luxury, a sanctuary in which to savour the island’s balmy climate and remarkable natural beauty, immersed in world-class amenities from the moment you arrive.

Vividly appointed to reflect the local culture, every room provides breathtaking ocean views and all the comforts you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The selection of gourmet dining options is equally enviable, from authentic Italian flavours to the elegant shoreside steakhouse and candlelit private dinners on the beach. Continuous culinary offerings are also available throughout the day at the top-floor Club Level, where you can unwind in the relaxation lounge as you take in the oceanfront panorama, refreshment in hand.

The Ritz-Carlton Aruba Spa is a welcoming haven of healing and rejuvenation, where guests can indulge in soothing massages, revitalising facials and serene relaxation areas that offer a peaceful escape. Delight in decadent treatments featuring the rich natural aromas and textures of indigenous Aruban ingredients. The signature Misterio Di Aloe spa treatment uses the cooling, hydrating qualities of local aloe to cleanse and refresh the skin.

Aruba’s natural beauty is on constant display throughout the resort, with stunning littoral panoramas at every turn – including from the lounge chairs by the two outdoor pools, the hot tub and the vibrant Madero Pop-Up Bar, which offers an ample selection of handcrafted tropical cocktails. For a more exclusive experience, opt for a private pool or beach cabana equipped with ample lounge beds and refreshments. Alternatively, challenge yourself with the curated selection of activities for all ages, which includes snorkelling, paddleboarding and kayaking. As dusk descends, adults can anticipate further enjoyment: commence with sushi and cocktails at the sophisticated Divi Sushi Bar & Lounge, followed by a visit to the lively casino, which boasts 1,400 square metres of classic table games, slot machines and live entertainment.

Whether you are dreaming of a romantic getaway, seeking a fun-filled family vacation or celebrating a milestone, The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba is the place to create lasting memories that linger long after you leave the island.
