8 Best Aruba All-inclusive Resorts

This small island in the Caribbean Sea is one of the “ABC Islands” (made up of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao), the westernmost islands of the Leeward Antilles. Aruba’s climate is nearly perfect, with warm weather, little rain, balmy breezes, and an average temperature in the low 80s. Another plus for vacationers is its location outside the hurricane belt, making it a year-round destination. White-sand beaches, mountains, deserts, Arikok National Park, and Aruba’s diverse culture offer visitors plenty to see and do.


Resorts, hotels, and guest houses are among places to stay, and many vacationers prefer the option of all-inclusive packages.
