Live the Caribbean dream

Aruba’s Palm Beach is a natural landing spot for most island visitors, featuring a long crescent of powdery white sand backed by an endless array of hotels, glitzy casinos, and shopping. The coastal Caribbean lifestyle lives large here and there are lots of things to do in Palm Beach, from snorkeling and beachfront dining to bar hopping right on the water.

All about Palm - Eagle Beach

When to visit

Palm - Eagle Beach is a quintessential beach destination, so you’ll want to visit when the weather is perfect—namely the dry season from December to April. These months offer sun-soaked weather and ideal conditions for water sports. If you’re seeking a little culture with your sunbathing, plan your trip around Aruba’s annual Carnival celebrations in January and February. These lively events feature colorful parades and performances, providing an authentic taste of Caribbean traditions.

Getting around

Exploring Palm - Eagle Beach and the surrounding areas is quite easy, thanks to Aruba’s reliable and extensive public bus system. Of course, renting a car is always a great option for families or travelers who prefer a little more flexibility and independence.

Traveler tips

While Palm - Eagle Beach is renowned for its powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters, venture north to Arashi Beach (about a 15-minute drive) for a quieter, more secluded experience. Regardless of where you decide to spread your towel, make sure you grab some pastechi for breakfast—an empanada-like pastry filled with cheese, meat, or seafood. You can find bakeries and street vendors selling these goodies all across the island.
